Brent has found a marketing gimmick that suckers are willing to buy into. He has almost no cost involved at all - simply places a sticker on the card, provides a cert, calls it High End and it brings in more money. People are stupid. Good for him to exploit their stupidity.

^^This is the real answer^^ I do like the humor in the posts sticking up for PWCC, they make me laugh and wonder if they are paid advertisements.

It seems to me Members are just giving their honest and personal opinion. You seem to have a problem with that. LOL....Your sometimes contrarian attitude makes me LOL.....

BTW, I don't mind mentioning that PWCC is the largest advertiser on our board and it is appreciated very much. I hope our members support them for supporting the board.

Brent didn't create this marketing, A company has been doing this for years with slabbed coins. I agree that it targets more suckers.. Amazing marketing.

Maybe Heritage REA and Probstein should do the same thing and we can see whose HE certification is worth more.

Within any grade there are cards that are, 1) average for the grade, cards that are 2) high end for the grade, and cards that are 3) low end for the grade.

How often do you see PWCC list cards that are low end for the grade? Trust me, there are some.

..that particular situation should have been solved and rendered moot by the new half-grades (PSA) and new numbering systems (SGC) of recent years.....I have never seen a PSA 6.5 HE or SGC 86 HE that wasn't in a PSA 7 or SGC 88 slab ???
