To me it is counterintuitive to not consider eye appeal in a grade. After all, shouldn't a card's grade have something to do with what it looks like?

Matt- we always speak about grading. It's a board obsession.
I think eye appeal should be a component of grading. Technical flaws are important but once they are determined, why not bump a card for nice eye appeal, or penalize it if it looks ratty? Just a not so original thought.

Something to consider...if my second card was also an Old Mill instead of a Sweet Cap, and it also came back a 1, there is no question that the first would outsell the second by a large margin. So if eye appeal is important to card enthusiasts, how can it not be worth more to graders?

How many times have we seen the description, "presents much better than the technical grade"?
