Leon - I too was quite happy with the deal you made with Val. I should have moved over to your area instead of staying in my personal Siberia with all those empty tables. Glad you made it back home safe and sound.

Woops...I am so sorry Ken......yes, Ken went to dinner with us and was one of our bunch too. I had a great time chatting with you Ken. How could I forget? I guess I was so worked up about the poor spot my table was in that I just forgot. And yes, the trade with Val and subsequent deal with you was very good too. I appreciate it very much. My sincere apologies for leaving you out of my initial post. You are definitely one of the nicest guys in the hobby!!

In a perfect world wouldn't it be great if only two designations were placed onto graded holders. "Authentic" representing a genuine unaltered card and "'Altered" representing a card that's been tampered with in some way such as trimming, re-coloring, etc. This notion has been mentioned before my many. One could place their own value on any given card based off of eye appeal alone not off of what some inconsistent third party grader felt they wanted to place on their flip on that given day which would more than likely be a different # the following day if re sent in. Simply crazy if you really think about what it's become. Although this will never happen since the system is so far gone a man can dream right??
