I concur wholeheartedly that legitimate grading (a la PSA and SGC) has helped immensely in driving out the charlatans and back-alley physicians who did their nasty work on cards. I still stand behind a "1A" rating and have faith that the marketplace would not price even the nicest looking "1A" above a ratty looking VG 3. Perhaps I am wrong on this, but I can't seem to remember many cards that were raw and sold with full disclosure of the alteration that sold for above the price of a graded 1 or 2.
