Default Buy the Card, Not the Slab

Posted By: Matt

I guess my differences between definitions 1 and 2 were not precise enough.

Steve's post got me thinking of a different way of trying to ask the question.

The concept of eye appeal basically means that we each have our own subjective grading scale wherein something which is slabbed as a 1 would be in VG condition in our scale (say with minor back paper loss) and something slabbed as a 5 we would devalue to something as a 2 or 3 (say with horrible registration). How much does that personal subjective grading scale follow through to your wallet? Are you willing to pay close to VG money for that card that is VG in your subjective scale, even though technically it's a 1?
