Just got my Mantle back from SGC

[travrosty]

why get it graded then if you dont like the grade? doesnt make sense. its the same card, unless people are just 'fishing' for grades. something says if it came back too high you wouldn't be upset with it. this grading doesnt make sense.

Same as getting a 2nd opinion from a doctor. Why should a card be penalized because it is in the wrong holder? People focus on the flip and not on the card. If you sell a card that is in a holder lower than it deserves to be in, then you lose money, as bidders will focus on the low grade and pay the low grade price. You would be better off cracking the card out and selling it raw!



Case in point....no way would I be happy selling this card as a '4', as it looks like a '6'......it deserves '6' money.

Exactly. This one I won't flip because I like the card. Just my opinion its neither right or wrong but when you are talking about investments people tend to look at the grade so they can get a idea of book value.

Thanks for looking those up for me Bobby thats almost a hundo in difference and thats pretty large.

And no to me that Aaron does not look like a 4 at all. It just so subjective.

What I would like is just a sheet of paper with each card knowing why it got the grade it got. Good or bad because now I'm looking at my card wondering and talking about it on here when I could have read a paper and said "Oh.... I get it now"
