I agree that the 8-9-10 thing has about as much objectivity as figure skating judging. However, I think the mid grades are and have always been pretty well defined in the hobby. An ex or better card better not have any creases. A vg card better be intact and without deep creases that split the cardboard to the point of removing image pieces.

I think in this era of scanners and high speed internet, if you don't ask for an image of the key cards in each group, you are asking for trouble. If the seller cannot or will not give them to you, pass on the lot.

As for this auction, I may be spending my Chicago money now...
