At one time an awful lot of Fritch's cards were waaaay overpriced but as time went on and collector passion for some sets fired up, those prices suddenly seemed very reasonable and desirable. Case in point the 1911 and 1912 Zeenuts he had. They sat and collected dust on their shelves for several years and boom! Collectors went nuts and they had to call a selling freeze to up the prices even more and still they sold out.
Larry's caramel cards in general were always overpriced and way overgraded but he did have cards no one else had. Sometimes you just bit the bullet and bought them.
As far as grading went, if a card said "EX" you usually got a really nice card. VGEX was a 50/50 proposition but VG and below was always scary.
