One of the things that's wrong with the current grading system

Posted By: Dave

Yesterday I was posting about grading and I think you really hit it on the head. There are improvements that can be made.

I'd love to know more about a card than a number when I'm buying (or even selling for that matter). Especially in the lower grades.

The number system (although it's the easiest to understand)... can also leave a card up for debate.

That green Cobb above is a great example. The front is spectacular... but why was it graded a 30? Back damage? Hidden crease? Surely it didn't get a 30 for being O/C!
