Since you asked...
... My thinking is that card-grading serves a purpose; if nothing else, the slab provides a uniform look for cards from different sets, protects, creates a commodity that can be more easily priced and perhaps makes storage easier. I won't get into the negatives, especially the dishonesty that results from the 'more easily priced' aspect.
But autograph grading?
I don't understand why anyone cares about anything other than authenticity. Don't most autograph collectors have eyes?
