If I send PWCC a consignment and Brent doesn't deem any of my cards worthy of that little sticker, that is just fine by me. If I thought one of my cards deserved the little sticker and he didn't, again, that's his choice, and I won't and can't impose my will on him.

Just because he's giving his opinion doesn't mean his eyes are better than mine. The same can be said of the grading companies. I don't think their eyes are better than mine, either. Just because someone is giving their opinion, doesn't mean their eyes are better, or anyone receiving the opinion thinks the opinion-giver's eyes are better. That's an assumption being made by some that's logically the problem; let Brent or anyone else give their opinion. Some will hear it/see it and agree, some won't. That's the world.

I am also willing to bet that 9 of 10 times or more the cards that receive this little sticker thing will deserve it. Brent sees enough cards to know when one has eye appeal beyond its grade. And such cards deserve a premium over the VCP average for their grade. Brent acknowledging what anyone's eyes can see with a little sticker seems like a total non-issue, to me at least.

I'm with you on this. Don't need the sticker, but don't care either way.

I love cards like the ones that hypothetically would receive this sticker: 4s that look like 6s, etc. I use my own eyes to decide which ones those are, but someone else saying which ones he thinks are special is his choice and right. For example, I agree with his Goudey Ruth but don't agree with his 51B Mick that received the sticker. It's all just opinions. Who cares if they are in the form of a flip, a sticker, or an auction description? The card is the thing and it's always right there for us to look at, just ignore all the opinions and noise and look at the card is what I do.
