There is no standard though because cards get different grades on different days. I say do away with them entirely and simply authenticate.

Yes but you might as well also say do away with nuclear weapons, or guns, or whatever. It won't happen.

The registry is artificial though. A 10 could be a 7 tomorrow because there's no consistency day to day. Collectors should decide what cards are worth paying for.

A 10 will always be a 10 because collectors will always pay for the flip.
