Judge Dred (Fred)I'd like to clarify something (ok, drop a bomb in the middle of the discussion which I hope doesn't take the thread too far off track).
When people indicate that they collect quality are you people stating that the card can only be a quality card if it's slabbed an "8" or "9" by some third party grading service whose subjectivity and skill at detecting alterations can be questioned? I suppose you could go as far as using a "5" or "6" card as a quality card if the inaccurate population reports reflect that those are the highest grades available for those cards.
You can have all the "8" and "9" cards you want but if you know (os suspect) that the card is trimmed or altered, does that count as quality?
