These high-end designations with the stickers have always seemed silly to me; and just another money grab. I can see with my own eyes if a card looks nicer than the given grade, and I don't need a sticker to tell me it is. I feel like our hobby churns out one gimmick after another just trying to see how much collectors will swallow. I'm involved in lots of other collecting hobbies (vintage shotguns, coin-op, movie posters, fine art, slot cars, etc.) and no one's putting little stickers on these items for a fee.
This would be a hard pass for me but I'm sure some will undoubtedly participate to get a new sticker.
