This has always seemed comical to me. To state that something is in the “top 5%” you have to have seen all of the examples. This is why I get my cards graded to sell. There is always a newbie that will overpay because someone has labeled it an 8 or better.

Exactly, this is ludicrous. As if PWCC had some database of all slabs, and were actually doing the math on their subjective opinions to categorize a top percentage.

When I fixate on a card I'm getting ready to buy, I will sometimes go to YouTube to see if there are videos which can show nuances, etc. There used to be a number of PWCC short videos, with Brentsy himself singing the praises of some 5 or 6 figure vintage card in a PSA or SGC 9. So take the 1963 Topps Mantle, for example. Over the years, there must have been at least 3 or 4 videos of Brent raving on about different examples of that particular card as "the best we've ever seen." Yeah, each and every one of them. Sadly, a lot of these videos have recently been taken down. Guess I don't blame Fanatics for that...
