ramramCorey - That is what is so humorous to me about the card grading services. So far, they don't seem to consider the image at all. You can get a completely faded image that grades an 80, whereas, you can get a perfect image with a bad condition mount that grades 10.
In the big picture, yes, I too am careful about the condition of the mount only for the sake that I will have to someday sell the image. Likewise, if I pick up a card issue, such as an OJ, I do like it to have the ad and not be skinned but I feel much different with the larger images (cabinets, etc.)
