Slabbed cabinets

Nothing against you Hal, but you are not the owner or president of a major auction house and you have not been doing this 30 years. If Robby submitted that stuff, they would take his word for it without a blink. Same goes for Bill Mastro, Doug Allen, Ron Oser, Kevin struss. And I must say, rightfully so in my opinion. When the submitter's knowledge is much higher than the grader's and the reputation is there, they will grade it with no question. I submitted a K-bats to SGC years ago when Grady was there, he returned it as trimmed. It wasn't trimmed but I am a nobody to him. I consigned it to Mastro and told them it was rejected. Kevin took it over and had it slabbed as it should have been. I got raped on the grade but such is life. Hence one of the problems with grading, the grading companies should hire or consult with someone who is an expert if they are not knowledgable about a particular piece. Dan.
