Completely agree with the comments made on this thread of the over-graded vintage cards sold by Fritsch. In my experience it was an average of 2 grades higher than the recognized standards of today.

This grading deception is a lucrative philosophy. The buyer is being charged about twice the actual current value for the card(s) that he/she receives. Chances are many of the ordered cards, or perhaps parts of the order, will "stick". A generous profit for the seller.

An unhappy customer that decides to return an order pays the mailing cost for shipping and insuring the package. No financial loss for the seller.

This was my first and last transaction with Fritsch. The cost of returning the cards was $59.00.
