Default Buying Raw cards from Oldtime Dealers

Posted By: plifter

MW, I'm just basing my opinion on the cards I've bought from him. In his defense I also will not say that he is over grading his cards. I'm just saying that he doesn't go by the higher standards that the grading companies use. I think he just grades his cards by "old school" standards. My personal belief is that the professional grading companies set the standards too high. They grade cards down for flaws that don't really detract from the card's eye appeal. Eye appeal is the sole reason that a card's condition matters.
