If a hobby legend is that bad at grading cards, I want nothing to do with him.
I remember my father and I buying an Cobb batt off shoulder in the 80s from one of his ads that was graded "Ex". It had more than one crease in it. He overgraded his stuff for sure. We returned the card for a refund but in retrospect a card that would have graded a 2 would still have been worth way more than whatever we paid for it back then LOL.
