CGC Jumping into card grading?

[honus94566]

Grading is such a subjective undertaking, anyone who thinks that a new company in the mix is going to "solve" any of these problems is incredibly naive. Grading is a shitshow, it's always been a shitshow, and it'll always be a shitshow.

It's collectors that put so much emphasis on and importance on grading. It makes zero logical sense. The same card, graded "2" with fantastic eye appeal sells for ~ $1500, while a "7" grade sells for ~ $14000? That's just stupid. The joke's on us, as collectors and buyers. Especially when we find out all the doctoring and turning a blind eye that goes on.

I have a few higher graded cards but almost exclusively collect ungraded or lower grades, why pay more for the same damn thing? Especially when I collect to collect, not because I am worried about the future values of my cards as investments.
