barrysloateDavid- I do have a card in my current auction where I state it was graded a bit optimistically, so I will try to point out obvious errors. I also have a card coming up on ebay that is graded VG-EX but has back damage. In my description I stated the card was clearly misgraded.
Joe- I agree the grading services will do just fine, but that wasn't my point. There is generally a large increase in price from one grade to the next, most noticeable when you reach 7 and above. How can a collector pay a huge premium for a 9 when it very well may have been yesterday's 8? That is the part of the formula that will baffle me forever.
