I give up on grading

if you are collecting to fill a hole and not investing, who cares if there is a hidden stain or minute hole that you can only see with the hubble telescope? Yes I think grading is a joke but I do see the protection value for the online buyer as I have stated. I don't like the fact that the grading companies haven't tried to hire or consult with experts who have been in the field much longer than their graders. Case and point, the 3 1910 notebook cards I had returned as counterfeits from SGC. If you don't know, consult with an expert or hire one even if only parttime. Sorry, but I have a huge problem with this part of grading. Yes the young graders can see corners and creases and alterations much better than I, but they should also know the issues they are dealing with. Dan.
