Joann made a good point that I agree with completely. Grading is the hot button issue in our hobby today. It has become very hard to function at any meaningful level without using the grading services, and yet we are nearly all in agreement the product they offer is inadequate, at times woefully so.

I suspect that if the graders improve the quality of their work, this issue will become less important. Nobody would be complaining if they looked at a stack of cards and felt that everything was graded correctly. There is still a long way to go for that.
