Peter- I agree I should look at the cards and make my own decisions. But very few people know the history of the cards they bought. And there is no practical way to trace their past. This is getting into such a murky area that I can't see how it can be practically assessed.

Could you imagine a consignor offering me a hundred graded cards for my next auction, and I ask him for the history of each and every card- who did you buy them from, did you submit them to grading yourself, have any of the cards been submitted more than once, etc.

He would probably get fed up and ask for the consignment back.
