The OP called grading a "boondoggle", which means that it's phony. That's not the correct word here.
In my neck of the woods a "boondoggle" is something that generates cash while not providing much in terms of value. I didn't call it a boondoggle either, i asked if others thought it was. I wanted to know what others here thought about grading. Did they find it oh so important? Did they not bother with it? Is it a pure money generation game for the speculators or does it provide value?

It seems odd to me that someone would say "I'll leave presentation to the eye thank you" yet turn around and defend grading as being "better' than before. So, is your eye good enough or isn't it?
