That sucks. I had a similar yet less costly lesson when I first got back into Vintage. Lately its been the other way around with trying to cross higher grade cards and them coming back as A.

From what I know there are countless cards that pass through various grades, ncluding A, before ending up in their final and best holders. It doesn't mean things are rigged, it means they are very imperfect.

Who's to say they didn't get it wrong the second time? Doesn't matter though, once it gets a grade it ain't ever coming out of that holder.

Grading is very subjective and as Peter said very imperfect.

Yet grading companies all use a numerical system that gives the illusion of great accuracy. It's supposed to make us believe that TPG's are capable of assessing a card's grade with incredible precision and consistency. Of course, they can't.
