Great topic

I find grading a neccesary evil because of all the fakes and alterations out there. That being said I have always found it absurd that cards with blank backs with a missing milimeter get graded automatically to a 1 or 2. Twenty years ago that card would be a Nm. While I value eye appeal I also recognize how people price cards and the resale value is important. It is clear that eye appeal within the same grade makes a huge difference in price.
