Here is a good example of bad grading. Card looks EX-MT from the front but I am sure the marker on the back limits this to a grade 4 and not a 6.

Problem is that TPG'ers have this set of definitions for grading and they don't follow them. They don't have to when we all keep paying for the grades and not the cards.
