Rand, I am old time and hate the grading system with my cards and with anyones cards. Your statement was unfair. I hate the grading system as I do not need some chump to tell me the condition of my cards or what they are. Remember, the hobby worked just fine years ago without it and true collectors do not care if there is a flaw that you can only see with a telescope! Who Cares!

On another note I agree that us oldtimers grades are a tier down from the 3rd party services. Since the 3rd party services are using Hubble telescopes, well naturally they will see imperfections that we won't. Basic physics.

I hate the current hobby compared to the old hobby, the main difference is the money. A true kiss of death to anything decent.
