Default crack/resubmit or crossover results

Posted By: Dylan

I think objectivity is even harder to come by when you submit cards for crossover. Id like to see those SGC 5.5 find there way into psa 7 slabs if they were still in there sgc slabs while sent to psa, thats what i find troubling, the pissing contests. Grade a card on its merits. And Barry I completely agree, the amount of money a single grade point higher can bring is sickening when you think about how subjective grading is, and how results are all over the board. I think the internet is partly to blame for this. Collectors cant inspect cards closely in person so have to rely on the grading companies to do this for them. Its an inperfect system but does pretty good most the time considering human beings are grading the cards. Maybe in the not too distant future cards will be inserted into a computer like device that grade the cards using infallible matthemitcal formulas that take all the subjectivity out of the process. Now i just got to get started writing the code for the program...
