This is giving me a sick headache. Remind me, again, why we even send our cards in to be graded in the first place?
The same card, sent in to one TPG every 5 years, for 25 years, freed from its plastic tomb, could conceivably receive a different grade every time. How, exactly does this service benefit the collector?
These "professionals" often miss fairly obvious card doctoring. They've whiffed on reproductions. They misidentify cards, labeling said card with the wrong designation, meaning it has to be sent back in for correction.
I'm not seeing any real expertise, and their business practices are borderline unethical.
