Some of us are asking the wrong questions.

Couldn’t agree more, and I think you articulated the entire point of my post better than me. The fact that I was scrolling through the endless rough looking raw cards on eBay and immediately stopped and thought “wow that one looks way better than everything else”, should be an indicator that a 2 is a tough grade to the naked eye. Seems that sometimes we’re so focused on the minutia that the grading scale can miss the mark in the common sense department. Just glad im not the only one with that sentiment!
