Michael SteeleGreg,
I agree with you that Ruth and Hooper etc would deem grading as "nuts". However, back in their day, I am positive there were no "card doctors" altering cards in every form known to make a profit. This is the only reason I accept grading and I know, there are still altered cards in holders but it is a better system then we had 15 years back (IMO).
This is a great discussion on grading postcards. I agree that grading is really kind of silly regarding postcards. Maybe a simple authentic or not authentic grade is the way to go on PC's. For me, the number grade means nothing on PC's but it's nice to know the PC is real.
