Eric,
I agree with you and with some of the statements made above about how grading company assessments should merely be a first step in a collector's evaluation of a card. That is often the case, but not always. We have all seen cards sell for more than one would expect given the assigned grade because they exemplify qualities in terms of eye-appeal that surpass technical criteria of the grading company. But more often than not, I think collectors blindly pay according to assigned grade.
