Good point. So if a reputable AH or seller offers a card and describes it as VG-EX or whatever, they could slab it with their own label and put the grade on it.

I'd pay higher for a card graded by any one of the many reputable people in this hobby/business, but buying raw online makes me somewhat nervous. And I would trust many of those sellers to do as good a job of grading as PSA.
