I agree with Jay completely. Eye appeal is virtually ignored in the grading process; and isn't that a part of what grading should be about? Besides technical considerations such as creasing and corner sharpness, how an Old Judge looks is a huge factor in its desirability, more so than with a printed card such as a T206. There are so many things that can go wrong in the photographic process, but this is not even a factor when an N172 is graded. Hate to keep harping but it is a flawed system that needs to be rethought.
