Judge Dred (Fred)This is something I posted in another thread but it kind of goes with what is being said and what has already been stated in this thread:
The difficulty with OJs is that the grading services will generally get the player's name correct (most of the time) but they usually don't identify the pose. There may be several poses of one player but the pop reports will not accurately reflect which N172 cards have actually been graded. They can indicate how many cards of a player have been graded but they don't provide the correct year (unless it was from 1887), team or pose type (catalog number). Unless they (grading services) get one of those Brit catalogs they'll never have a chance of properly providing accurate data for OJs. Even if they did start following stricter labeling guidelines there would be so many inaccurately labeled OJs out there that the pop reports would always be a bit off.
Joe, your contribution of information is the kind of stuff I look forward to seeing in this forum. Could we just imagine if 1 in 5 threads had this type of content - WOW!
