Mark TylickiFirst, I extend my apologies for not responding to this post sooner. The last thing I wanted to do is create a grading company bashing session. I returned to Denver after traveling and found some time to inspect the card this past Sunday. Selling cards is a part-time business for me in the evening hours after my day job. I try to do my best to be honest. The item description was written more than a year ago (the card’s been listed several times). After re-examining the card over the weekend the hole does not actually pierce the back of the card. It’s not a pinhole. I guess this was an assumption on my part, a mistake, when I first wrote up the description – most likely during a busy night of listing dozens of items. There’s just paper loss in a small concentrated area and it doesn’t even protrude to the reverse. In my opinion the card is accurately graded VG – in similar condition to most ’36 WWG cards you’ll find out there on the market. I will be updating the auction listing shortly.
In my opinion professional grading has provided customers with a higher level of buying confidence on the internet. No company is perfect and all have slabbed cards with wrinkles/creases in EX+ holders – let’s be honest. For the most part, I believe the major players are fairly accurate within a grade or two. I think we can all agree they're more accurate then some of the mail order catalog dealers out there. The most important rule is to buy the card and not the slab.
