Top Graders' Compensation

[Yoda]

When I spare a thought for the hobby, which is most of the time these days, I often muse about what it must be like to be a top senior grader at one of the TPG houses. I wonder what it would be like to make the grading call on a T206
green Cobby between 6.5 and 7, or a '52 Topps Mays between 7.5 and 8, knowing full- well how much money my decisions mean. I wonder if they feel real pressure, like I would, or is it just another day at the office? Because they are well-known in collectors circles and have almost some kind of star quality, I have to believe they are highly compensated, with some kind of bonus scheme on top of a nice base salary. And maybe the package would include a free trip to the eye doctor every six months. Love to know.
