Steve, sorry to break the news to you, but sellers like you are the ones the ruin the hobby for the colelctors if you are their first exposure. To say your grading is over the top is laughable at best. And what is a new collector to think when you are their first experiencee and then they find out that what you call EX+ wouldn't gat a Good grade from the slabbing companies.

I bet you would have a lot less problems with your auctions of vintage cards if more honest about what you sell, rather than "over the top", as you like to put it.

You also claim that if slab the card, no one could afford. You know what, not everyone could afford it, but there are still people that would buy it. But int he case of that Cobb, all slabbing would do is help ease doubts as to rather it is real or not since it would get better than PSA 2 or SGC 30, and that's being generous. And there are no price premiums attached to cards with that grade.

Also, do a little research into PSA and other grading companies. You will find that among vintage collectors, SGC carries more weight as far being able to actually authenticate and properly identify vintage cards.

Just remember, you brought this on yourself by being "over the top" to try and make an extra buck, so don't try to pass the blame onto someone else.
