peter chaoGuys,
I'll admit it, I deserved the flak I got for the No. of O/T posts I made. I knew I was out of bounds. But I didn't think I deserved, Jeff L. and Peter S. hounding me. Then it became a battle of egos and that's not good for anybody. I'm trying to shape up so give me a chance.
Card grading is the focus of their business. Going into other areas of memorabilia would be a dead end. Each year the card manufacturers produce better quality cards.
Just look at this year's Allen and Ginter cards, there's almost no reason to get these cards graded. A whole stack of these cards toppled over on my hobby room rug and none of the corners got dinged. The cards are beautiful and centered. There's no reason to get them graded.
Eventually this will also happen for Topps base set. When that happens there will be less for the grading cos. to do.
People do not grade '80s and '90s stuff because it is barely worth grading.
