Great points Kevin!!

I particularly agree with the 15% altered--high, medium or low.
People on here seem to think they are immune from this because they do not collect high grade cards when the problem is just as acute in mid-grade and low-grade. Maybe now that you are saying it instead of me, they will listen? Ha!

Its nice that you are sharing your work with the best grader in the hobby--of course I know who you are talking about. I am not surprised to hear that he is very open as I consider him to be an extremely knowledgeable guy and a good friend.

I know that you will not pass on the real juicy parts of what you have learned to this board or your book for that matter but I would urge you nto pass along as much as you can to all collectors in a public forum.

You are right--at the most sophisticated end collectors can do nothing and graders are not keeping up--for the high end, medium grade and low end.

I have a call into you--thanks for sharing.
