DanI must agree with Jay on this one. There are many vintage smart people in the hobby yet none that I have heard of have ever been approached by any grading company to be hired on for their knowlege. It seems the grading companies allow hands on training for grading vintage cards. A grading company should be the expert, so they should hire someone that knows something about what they are grading.
I was at a national, submitted a card, it came back trimmed, I asked the head grader what he had been smoking? The card wasn't trimmed, he just didn't have a clue about the issue. Mastronet wanted the card for auction. They walked it over and had it graded by the same grader. I love grading. Dan.
