Default Would you do it?

I have a little experience grading out these cards since I have been actively working a high grade set for several years (funny, doesn't feel that long but it is). If you are going to submit, they had better be real blazers or they will draw 80's from SGC. I submitted a bunch of nm cards and every one came back an 80. Taking that lesson to heart, the next batch I sent in were a dozen semi-high and high numbers I had pulled from literally thousands of cards I went through at several shows. These came back 88-92-96. In short, SGC shows no mercy on these cards. If you want to make it worthwhile to slab them, they'd better be crystal clear (the set has a lot of very subtle registration problems--compare several version of the same card and you will see what I mean), centered and very black edged.
