Anonymous i've raised this question quite a few times myself as i'm getting back in the hobby .when i sold off my collection,grading was just getting started.
concentrating on hof's ,and lackng the expertise to spot a "skilled" alteration,i decided to call wayne varner of shoebox cards.after talking for nearly an hour he put my mind at ease about paying for graded cards.
to make a long story short i bought my first card in 15 years off wayne,a GAI 2.5 e90-1 mathewson that is in my mind ,a fantastic looking card.it also gives a rookie collector like myself peace of mind knowing that my good $ was spent on a legit card
as a former critic i feel when spending more then $100 for a card ,its the way to go.
