runscottI think all these board discussions have helped each of us make our minds up how to deal with the fact that "card grading" isn't going away.
I use the following rules:
1)buy the card,not the holder
2)be aware that some buyers will purchase your card with the intent of getting it graded, and be prepared to deal with it.
3)sell the card, not the holder.i.e-detailed descriptions, even of slabbed cards
4)crack 'em out unless I plan to re-sell (some people like them in slabs), or if I am using the holder for temporary protection
5)don't grade my cards on ebay - give detailed descriptions and detailed scans.
6)If I'm selling from a list without pictures, grade the card to the best of my ability and offer refunds
7)save those SGC black inserts for framed card displays - very cool.
