gary nuchereno Doug, The fact of the matter is that many collectors differentiate between cards that have been graded poor to fair because of multiple creases and rounded corners versus cards that have been graded poor to fair because of paper loss or writing on them. The fact that many collectors feel that way should be enough for auction houses to be more specific regarding poor to fair lots.
I was told recently by a different auction house that a card with writing on the back can still be graded very good. I guess it could but it should be listed as very good with writing on the back! All auction houses should try to be more accurate in there
descriptions. I also think that auction houses should refuse to
auction cards that have been badly misgraded by the grading companies. It is a cop out to say "we didn't grade it"
