I was digging around, looking for an example of a particular Babe Ruth style signature, and found this site. Others have probably already discussed it:

Well said, Scott. I wish there could be more interaction with the graders when you submit, like getting a reason for the grade or pass/fail (I understand it would cost more). I have submitted a card to get numerically graded, and thought it came half a grade or two grades less than what it should have, and I called and had them re-look it (no bump
) and the customer service rep explained to me what they told her and put a sticky note on the slab with an arrow pointing to the issue.
I feel like reasoning behind the madness would help out so much more with many of these issues.
But I really do appreciate everyone's posts and thoughts so far, it's very insightful in helping me with my decision.
