Obviously, the third-party grading companies are not a perfect solution. Mistakes and bizarre grades happen at times. But I think the TPGs are a net positive to the alternative: a Wild West type of situation in which every card is "mint" in the eyes of a seller and "good" in the eyes of a buyer.

That being said. the price disparity between a card graded one grade higher or one grade lower is shocking at times, especially with the nonsense of "highest graded example."
