More and more I think it's the offering of high quality material. And PWCC definitely consistently offers that! They offer big auction house quality items routinely...and that seems to trump everything these days. And to address Davids' comments...this is the world we are living in now...social media...many people want/desire constant attention! Last edited by ullmandds; 05-01-2019 at 08:57 AM.

Hey guys,
It is understood that the majority of the contributors to this board do have superior knowledge in grading than your typical collector. Top collectors and dealers for the most part, CAN certainly identify what looks high end for the given grade. These people do not need a sticker or person to direct their thought processes. Think about this however: What about the vast majority of collectors who do not deal with grading every single day? Could they not benefit from some assistance with this concept? If you can rattle off the centering parameters for an entire company’s grading scale, then the stickers are probably not for you. Some people do need some guidance however. If you have an eagle eye, it does not mean everybody else does. “Joe Collector” out there might not even know what grading standards mean in the first place. Just remember that some of us happen to be blessed with a skill set that not everybody is fortunate enough to master. There are people out there who can benefit from some consultation regardless of whether or not an auction house is profiting from it. Other stickers are coming. It’s not just about PWCC. Could more stickers ultimately dilute the PWCC product? Possibly, but this could very well be a universally accepted standard 10 years from now. Coin grading is on a 70 point scale (30 are used) and it is an accepted practice to grade them A, B, and C quality within a grade. That is 90 grades if I’m not mistaken. CAC stickers are a real thing. Price guides have a separate column for slabbed coins that are stickered. Coins also have numerous positive qualifiers: FS, FB, CAM, DCAM, FBL... the list is enormous. Why this is not used on cards sets like 89 Upper Deck for “Full Hologram” is beyond knowledge I am privy to. Nonetheless, given the evolutionary climate of the hobby in conjunction with a moderate amount of extrapolation, I can assume we will see it some day. I make the coin grading comparison because it pre-dates the entire card hobby and has a much bigger overall market. Stickers have been an accepted concept in coins for years along with others that we seem on the cusp of. Observing the evolution of coin grading seems to be the crystal ball for cards. Most card graders use 19 or 20 grades in there scale and that is a relatively recent scope. Not too long ago, it was a 10 point scale, right? Considering how every cards is unique, those are still pretty small numbers. If coins have a 30 point scale which is then separated into 3 categories of quality, I see card grading dissected much further in years to come. Oh and I know everybody loves to bash Brent, but the guy seems highly intelligent and creative. Going after him for every little thing reminds me of the steroids in baseball controversy...the guys who play the best receive the most criticism. If PWCC wasn’t a literal powerhouse, all this would be non-topic. I personally love seeing all the new ideas not only thought of, but actually put in motion. A new concept can’t be accepted until someone introduces it to the world first. The auction house residing only on eBay, the stickers, the vault which can directly turn your auction winnings into managed commodities/futures. Oh and you can borrow cash against your equity. Who else is doing that on a large scale? It’s all genius stuff. I believe we will look back and say the guy was a hobby pioneer...Brent, game recognize game. Real talk.
