Except that card grading is ENTIRELY dependent on the company's reputation. At the heart of their business, reputation is all they have. I would think that a better long term a business model would be to create an unassailable aura of objectivity. Otherwise this whole era of grading is going to come to a quick end and be remembered with embarassment as an unfortunate joke. I'm ambivalent about grading myself, but I hope the service gets better, not worse, because it does have its benefits.
