petecldNOTE: I'm using SGC numbers in my post not to single them out but simply because I am most familiar with their system as I use them the most - actually 99.5% of the time and go out of my way to look for their cards at shows and in auctions.
Greg, I'm not saying it's obvious but the reality is that that these companies will survive based on dealer submissions over collector submissions. It's subtle.
In not saying I see cards that look like 20s in 60 holders nor do I want my "20" cards to be in "60" holders - I just want a fair grade.
A card is an in-between - larger submitters seem to get the 50s instend of the 40s or 40s instead of 30s. I sure as he** don't. But I have seen a couple cards in SGC 40 holders (large submitter) that look like cards I have in 20 holders and those extreme examples of what I'm saying but I'm sorry, I have to wonder why.
Collectors don't seem to get the benefit of the doubt. Sorry thing is it's the collector who will be the most loyal to company but it's the money that will get the benefits.
