Default Grading: is it really that important?

Posted By: davidcycleback

I'm not a fan of the numbers game, but I understand how grading is important for many online buyers. I'd rather rely on the grading accuracy of PSA or SGC than the average eBay seller.

As far as the significance in the numbers go ... if someone wants to pay $1,000 more for a baseball card without a corner ding in the lower left corner, that's fine with me. It's not my place to tell others what to collect. But I'd rather have the slighly lower grade card and use the $1,000 ding money to buy more stuff ... While I understand and accept the concept of set registries, every time I think about someone PSA grading an entire 1981 Fleer set it blows my mind. No matter how long I live, it is unlikely that anyone will ever make me understand why it's imperative to get 1981 Fleer Don Aase in PSA 10.
