Judge Dred (Fred)Is it me? I am the only person that feels the following:
Years ago a ghost image would have been seen as a defect which resulted in a lower technical grade for the card.
Years ago having the name partially cut off of the bottom (and showing part of the name at the top) of the T206 would have been a defect that lowered the technical grade of the card.
Years ago a card with a stamp on it was considered marred because someone added a stamp mark across it.
Years ago slight color variations weren't considered "variations".
Go ahead, call me a purist or someone that doesn't adapt well to change.... In the numismatic world there was the 1955 double die and the poor mans double die... I guess there are a lot of poor mans (now rich mans) double dies out there in the card collecting world...
