You guys act shocked. This is why I'll never again buy an ungraded vintage card. Why should Larry be any different than the crooks on ebay? For every 10 cards advertised as NM or better, perhaps one will come back as a PSA 7. The rest are 6s and 5s. I've yet to see an 8. Unless you just don't mind throwing your money away, how can you not buy graded cards? At least you're not getting ripped off.>

If you think that all cards in slabs are untrimmed, undoctored and unaltered...No, surely you don't believe that. I'll agree that there is some time overgrading on ebay of raw cards and often it is really bad if someone who has no clue opines his opinion, but when a scan is posted along with the description it is up to the intelligence of the buyer to make a decision. The more experience the buyer has in observing and examining vintage cards, the better off he is.
