I realize PSA and SGC (and the other opinion sellers) want theirs to be the Word of God... But who actually anointed them?
Fair disclosure:
A grader at XYZ thinks it is a 7
I think it is a 9
The guy I bought it from called it "near Mint"
My neighbor thinks it is a 6
My car mechanic thinks it is a 10, but he wasn't wearing his glasses at the time...
My point is, why is the opinion of one more relevant than the other. Why can't a prospective buyer do HIS OWN grade assessment (a novel thought, I admit.)

We the hobby anointed them. It is what it is. The people to whom it's relevant and material, I have no doubt, far outnumber those to whom it is not, even on this Board. People can tilt at windmills and lament it all they like but it's not going to knock down the windmill.
