Sell the Card not the Grade
I went up to Baltimore for the National and really enjoyed my time there with my wife, and my father who flew out from the west coast. Anyway, while I was looking for a Killebrew rookie in a grade 8 (I ended up leaving empty handed) I had a conversation with one of the dealers who obviously hated the idea of graded cards and said hobbyist should buy the card not the grade (all of his cards were graded by the way). I agree with this statement because there are some 8s or 9s I would never consider buying, and some 6s or 7s I would. He had an 8 that looked more like a 7, but it was priced nearly 30% higher than what I would consider fair value for an 8. So, shouldn't the dealer be selling the card not the grade? It seems hypocritical to give this advise to customers and then not employ it yourself from a selling standpoint. Do you agree?
