They dropped the ball on so many cards it's hard to believe they weren't in on it somehow. They're too expensive, but I would like to see some of the better trims in person to see if I can tell.
Yes, there were a few outliers. and outliars, but the bigger dealers were mostly good by the standards at the time. (Mainly meaning someone organized enough to have a store or constant presence at shows - the flea market guys were a very mixed group)
there were really only 5 grades then, maybe BCCG will come out of this as the best grading service...
Right now I'd trust myself more than a grading company.
