I think the numerical grading of cards has become a monster and compels people to try to alter cards. There's just too much money at stake for many to resist the temptation. All I want from an authenticator is to slab the card and let me know that it's authentic and not altered and I'll decide if I like the card's presentation. Eventually a service to cater to folks like me will be created and a lot of the pressure put on people to stretch and trim vg-ex cards into ex-nmt cards will evaporate. At least I hope.
