Max...I had thought poor Joe's heart had been ripped out, but then I realized that the scar was the wrong side of his body.
On the subject of grading, do they assign different graders to different value cards? Since I've never submitted a card, I have no idea how it works. I presume that someone of great prestige and reknown values the next T206 Honus, versus the newcomer who would grade my Bob Brown dogeared Obak.
As well, whenever I hire an expert in my line of work, the name of the company is secondary to the particular individual qualifications of the expert--his knowledge, experience, judgment, whether it's real estate or business valuation, or any other expert opinion. I would never hire an expert unless I knew the name of the individual, nor would the opinion be accepted as expert evidence in any court (at least in Canada.) It's perplexing so much value in the market is placed on a brand name, when the particular individual's expertise is not apparent to any subsequent purchaser, whether it's PSA, SGC or any other grading service.
