turnaround times
Peter- Well, I believe fair grading is more important, but I feel confident
saying many posters don't agree with your sentiment. Between PSA and SGC, strictly regarding "fairness" of grading, it's my opinion that SGC is far more consistent than PSA ever has been. Does that make SGC more fair? I'd say yes; however, even they have fallen into this trap of seeing who can be harshest/finest in their grading, like it's a badge of honor in some game no one else wants to play. Their relative speed is a bonus. I'll stand by my comments about "obsession", though. Sports cards enthusiasts and sports fans (people who can talk the sport, not just the card) tend to be passionate folks. Within the small context of this hobby, the wait times and "moving the goalpost" grading standards are issues that continue to frustrate many collectors; however, it's not even close to an obsession. It's a first world problem that sure beats talking about work life, but I'm not on the verge of becoming Private Pyle from "Full Metal Jacket" over it. Trent King

I think you're reacting too strongly to "obsession" which was just dramatic phrasing but if it makes you feel better I'll modify the point to say I don't understand people's emphasis on turnaround times.
