I rarely grade but will grade so I can sell to idiots that pay more for cards graded by idiots that have no clue.

I have been doing this 40+ years, I "run" to no one for anything!

And I have forgotten more than any of the idiot grading companies will ever know.

I will try to scan a few for you guys, I have to unpack from the show

PS I know that wasn't directed at me but I wanted to use it as a stress release! thanks

So just to recap your stress release:

You are upset because you, who runs to noone for 40+ years, ran to SGC to get your RAW cards graded. But the idiot graders (that have no clue how to grade) graded them objectively - which you forgot more than they know that due to paperloss they grade low - instead of grading them subjectively which could've made them 10s. And now the idiots who buy graded cards won't give you the profit you deserve.

and timber is a douche cuz your 99.9% raw keeper collection will trash his.

okay, got it!

Ahh, too bad I missed the show. I was planning on going during the weekend, but didn't feel like dealing with the traffic from NY-PA.

Glad you guys had fun!

Rob - Not to speak for Dan, but in all fairness that's not what he was saying IMO. After all, Mr. Timber was the first to hurl the "d" word. Just sayin'.

You're right Ken. But mr timber made a general non-aggressive statement about people getting stuff graded, and Dan went after him pretty rough with the "my collection will trash yours" comment. Perhaps I read it wrong. Dan is probably a very nice guy. He must be if Ken and Leon both get along with him haha . And this is his thread is his, but I just thought the way he was taking it out on mr timber was over the top. We are all collectors of cards, so no need to bash other people's collections with mine-is-bigger-than-yours comparisons. If anyone needs to get bashed for a poor collection its me!!!

Seriously Dan, sorry for interrupting, continue venting!

As a side note on grading ... I like that cards are graded objectively and not how they appear. Some people don't want paperloss (i happen to be fine w/it) at all with cards in their collection. If the paperloss is tiny but the card was given an "8" due to beautiful eye appeal, the buyer of the card may be unhappy since more often than not the seller wouldn't disclose the paperloss. Thats why I liked the idea of Becketts old grading system with 4 subgrades that made up the total grade. It gave you a better idea of what was wrong with the card. I'm sure SGC/PSA can make some money when they "revolutionize" the industry with subgrades and the collectors of plastic can resubmit their holders for new ones!

Dan,

All your cards suck and are overgraded.

Sincerely,
Jeff
