Default Cardfax History Report

1. That certainly looks like the same card.

2. That's a nice card, anyone should be happy with it, anywe wouldn't be happy with it.

3. Seems to me that a bit of soaking occurred, followed by a mild dose of spooning.

4. Instead of just this card being graded 'Authentic', what if that was all any of the slabbing companies did... not that they'd get those all correct either.

5. If you guys step back from this, isn't this card a reason to give less credence to graded cards? I still don't have a small T200. And I've about decided that if I buy one on eBay from a seller unknown to me, I probably should get one that has been graded. Only because of the likelihood of photoreproductions and coffee-stained backs. But then I'd bust him out... So I can see there's a place for grading (there, I've matured a bit, you guys have brought me one step along). But can't you see that grading has no business whatsoever up on the high pedestal some seem to have for it? And the adjacent pedestal for that set registry nonsense??
