Sometimes I think the eye doctor appointments were rescheduled instead of being fastidiously attended.

Not all cards of course, but just the wrong ones

I bet it's really boring. The highlight of your day probably is some weird regional issue that requires some research to figure out just what it is. And the green Cobbys and 53 Mays' are probably few and far between. I suspect that they spend most of their time looking at Noah Syndergard pre-rookie inserts, Ken Griffey Jr. 1990 Topps cards, and the like.

Maybe I'm really naive, but I assumed with so much money at stake it would be a little more scientific than just the eye test. Something similar to Beckett: a list of categories (corners, edges, centering, focus, surface, etc.) would each get a grade, performed by hi-res computer analysis where applicable, then you work a total number based on the subs. Just eyeballing and using micrometers or something similar sounds like what they'd do in the 1980's.

...1980's Eyeballing vs. "based on the subs"....granted, this may be an extreme example ; nothing against Beckett ; I think they're great ; just so you're aware going in how they do things there...
