Makes me want to go raw

We can all debate grading and I think more and more people tend to agree that the grading servcies should render opinions that indicate a card is Authentic (w/ no modifications) or Altered. The numbers game is what can be easily debated. SUBJECTIVITY. Eye appeal. Some people might not mind an off centered card if all else is stellar. Look at PSA, they can't even adhere to their grading criteria, especially as it relates to centering. How can PSA indicate that a card must have xx/yy centering or the highest grade it can achieve is GG. PSA should have stuck to their grading standards and put an OC qualifier on all cards that deserve it. This obviously hasn't happened. I refuse to play the numbers game. Sadly, I've sold a few "overgraded" cards and the buyers know the cards are "overgraded" yet their comments were that the label has the number they want on it. Sad, sad, sad...
