Objective card grading

[Archive]

Posted By: Howie

A perfect grading system is impossible. The inadequacies perceived in the current systems exist because collectors are still allowed to have their own opinion on the qualities that are personally important to them. The perfect grading system would require that everybody viewing a card would have the exact same opinion of the card. When a grading company renders their opinion you don't have to agree with them every time. If you disagree it doesn't mean they are wrong or that your grading skills are superior to them. It doesn't mean everyone will share your opinion. If I wanted my VG cards to have 50-50 centering with no creases that's my perogative. Every card, collector, and opinion is a little different. It gets old reading about people trying to force their own personal opinion on others. Kind of like politics.
