Default Grading Frustrations 101

Posted By: jay behrens

Doesn't matter if cards are slabbed or not, when someone is selling something, its always better than it looks. When they are looking to buy something, it's always worse than it looks. Doesn't matter what a 3rd party says, people always think they know better. I know I'm guilty of it when I think a card is undergraded. But then again, I'd probably not be as happy with SGC if everything I sent in was coming back with higher grades than expected.

I pretty much ignore dealer hype in an auction and go straight tot eh scan, then do a read of the description looking for words like crease, reprint, authentic, etc that will be useful to determine the more about the card.
