still shocked no one has commented on my observation, that this board, which seems to be overwhelmingly in favor of "raw" cards, during discussions and many of you constently bash grading companies...YET, only 12% prefers raw cards...61 people out of almost 500...this baffles me... |

I'm after the highest grade I can find. And afford. But if I'm after something, and it is 1 of 10 in existance, sometimes a grade 1 or 2 will have to do. I may never see another one. And that's ok. So it would be difficult to be put into any one slot. But we can try it. |

I think Barry's categories would be fine. My prewar collection averages GD-VG but is not exclusive to cards in that range. Maybe a poll discussing the average condition of one's collection? |

I think with Barry's suggestion there is too much overlap in the catagories. For example I have cards in each of the catagories 2 through 5 and like them equally. For there to be a catagory "all of the above" would be meaningless. |

Maybe you could add a few more categories to my list of five, and each collector could pick more than one because of the overlap. But keep in mind if 99% of one's collection is VG, and 1% is PSA-8, then you could just click "VG" and leave it at that. Lots of surveys, however, allow you to click more than one choice. |

...about click polls where you can only vote once is you get an idea about what a certain group thinks about a certain topic. If you allow people to vote more than once, or if you have to answer "C, but on Wednesday's it's B or A," then your question wasn't worded carefully. |

The last pole also was difficult for me to answer because i like my cards raw as much as i do graded. Some i prefer out of holders, some in. but since the question posed was which grading company i prefer i answered with the grading company id most likely use if i were to use one. |

I like Jason L and Richard Masson's questions. While I appreciate Barry's I think there is too much overlap for a lot of collectors. I personally collect in all 5 categories. Very few of us are PSA 8 only. |

Jim is right that there is too much overlap but I think what we are trying to determine is who the so-called backbone of the hobby is. We need to come up with categories that don't necessarily run together, maybe more a philosophy of how one collects and not the PSA grade...but "pond scum" seems like the best category so far. |

I am leaning toward the most votes for a new poll to be based on condition of the cards we collect. Again, it's by popular vote and this seems to be one of them and very "in the news" the last few days on the board. Maybe we can refine this: |

Leon- you've pretty much covered all the bases, but as others have mentioned most would have to check off more than one category. Would that be acceptable? |

I say let's do Leon's poll as it is, and see where it goes. One question: are people allowed to vote more than once, or are we locked out? We don't want any ballot stuffers ("hilarious" has one "l"). |

Shouldn't option 8 read "raw" instead of "grade"? |

I think "grade" is correct....in other words one doesn't care whether it's high grade or not (slabbed or not too) if it fills a hole...does that make sense? |

To me options 1 through 4 relate to graded "slabbed" cards with a number and 5, 6 and 7 to "raw" cards. Option 8, the collector who is more interested in "filling a hole", will take them "raw" (without regard to "grade") or slabbed (without regard to what the number is). That's my collecting style. Using the word "raw" just makes it read a little easier for me to answer. |

I see your point.....I asked for suggestions to amend this and no one really responded. If anyone, including yourself, can make a more cohesive poll, with the subject at hand we will use it. If I subsitute "raw" in that last one it doesn't really take into consideration that "any" grade is acceptable, which is what I was trying to get at.....I know a lot of old timer collectors fill a hole and grade isn't too important... Suggestions? |

Barry- IMO, even though you don't collect anymore, you are still "in the hobby" as an auction house...i would click the category that best describes the material in your auctions...which, in a way, speaks about your taste/interests...do you agree? |
