One of the lots I purchased had a key card graded EX-MT in the catalog and it came back VG; yet in the same lot a card graded VG-EX came back EX-MT! Dollar wise, it's pretty much a wash, but that isn't the issue. Shouldn't the major auction houses know by now the standards of the grading services and be prepared to abide by them? I don't care if a card graded VG-EX comes back VG; truthfully, I could barely tell the difference myself. But these wild swings suggest that there needs to be a better system for selling raw vintage cards.
