barrysloateLeon- that would make sense except in an instance like this, where the same card has a history of being in a different holder with a lower grade. Then the idea of trying to get away with spooning out a crease won't work.
One of the dark sides of grading is it has created money out of thin air: take a raw card and slab it and it is worth much more; take a card with a light crease in a 2 holder, crack it out, remove the crease, and get it in a 5 holder. Money is made without anybody producing anything or doing anything.
Sure sounds like a microcosm of the economy to me.
