I'd institute a blind submission policy. You put your name on the submission form and your card gets a number for reference. A third party grader reviews the card not knowing who owns it. Assigns a grade.

The worst aspect of the grading / authentication business is that it favors certain individuals / companies. So I'd like to eliminate that aspect by having graders who know nothing about where the cards came from.
