That would be better than nothing at all... but I like the number grade as well.
The key is not to rely on the number grade.
So if you and I look at a card that you are selling.... and you think it is VG, and I think it is G - - it is nice to have that third party opinion saying it is a VG.
Relying on the number grades is silly.
And for the most part - I think that collectors just take it is one single opinion.... then they have their own opinion and bid accordingly.
If a card looks overgraded - I do not bid it up to its number.... and if a card looks undergraded - I will bid past its number (value-wise).
Why remove the third party opinion altogether?
Just don't solely rely on it.
