Bingo, was just thinking this same thought as I read through the thread. We expect (hope) that a new company will come in and clean up all the mistakes of the current TPGs. Why is it so crazy to think that they might change the Auth - 10 grading scale that is currently in use, where the naked eye loses it's ability to distinguish cards at the upper level and a 1 or 2 can have such varying levels of eye appeal? If you want them to be different than the establishment, then don't knock 'em when they are.

I do however, think the flips suck.
