Gilbert- I'm not sure exactly how my grading differs from the grading companies since each grading company in some ways differs from each other. But I will say that ten years ago when I put vintage cards up for sale I spent hours going over a collection before running an ad. I tried to be as accurate as I could. Now I just send them in and pretty much let the graders do the work. I am more on automatic pilot in that respect. Again, there are some very good things the grading companies do. I just think every collector should learn how to be a grader too. But it's really not necessary anymore.
