Heritage Auctions is now offering a
best-in-class certification, sort of like PWCC's eye appeal levels (except there appears to be only one-level) or the
MBA (Mike Baker Authenticated) certifications.
Makes sense for a large auction house to do this, as it may bring in more high quality consignments.
Also, not sure if Fanatics is carrying on the eye appeal certifications that PWCC had, so there may be an opening in the market.
It's all subjective of course, but I do see the point of these designations, given that 3rd party graders aren't always concerned with eye appeal, even if I find the idea of yet another certification kind of annoying
