Almost all your daily decisions in life are made with assumptions because it is impossible to know everything about something definatively. It's a very safe assumption that the vast majority of the people ont his board do not have a background in printing. You are an absolute exception to the average person that frequents this board with your background. It's impossible to write for all exception. Otherwise, you end up writing something and then prefecing it with "...except for...". Writing like that is just rediculous. While you education maybe a wonderful thing, it's no better than going to school and getting a degree in art. Until you actually get a job with a museum and can actually get your hands on some paintings and start examining them, all the book learning in the world isn't going to substitute for the real thing.

Yes, there are people here that have problems with graded cards, but it's genrerally with the slabbers lack of being to properly identify a card, not the technical grade. When there is a beef with ita grades, it's generally so far off that even a blind chimp could see it should not get that grade, the PSA3CJ Wagner that should be a PSA1 being one of the grossest examples I can think of.

A good friend will come bail you out of jail. A true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn, that was fun."
