It baffles my mind too how image quality seems to be irrelevant for N172 grading, particularly when it is the most important quality for the vast majority of N172 collectors. I think because of the severity of fading on some N172s, image quality is more of an issue here than on virtually any other baseball card set. However, I do not think the companies should have a completely unique set of criteria for this set. If a card has back damage, it probably should be knocked down substantially. I think with N172s, it is just an example of the market correcting itself. A strong image on a card graded SGC 10 due to back damage will sell for more than an SGC 80 that is extremely faded. At least I would pay more for it.

Jim- you're correct, "overhaul" does sound a little harsh, like replacing the body on an old car. But as we've found out people's opinions vary as to how many changes need to be implemented, so let's just say the survey is a less than perfect one. Nevertheless, we have a pretty good idea about how a large number of people think about it.
