Though, I do give them credit for being able to look up a card this way:
This card has been graded and authenticated by Global's team of experts.
It is authentic as long as it stays encapsulated within the Global Card Holder.
The hobby has not yet given sufficient credibility to the grading companies that would empower them to make perception of higher value than fact. A fake card is not real just because it is holdered as such. A Heinie Wagner does not become a Honus because of its holder, however, when they can use opinion (subjectivity) as an excuse, they get away with anything.
