One thing to be aware of is that images of cards posted online can be very deceiving. A card gets a PR 1 grade for a reason. No VGEX card is mistakenly graded a 1. If you are seeing nice looking cards that get a 1 grade, you are most likely unable to see a pretty major flaw in the pictures. While grading companies do seem to be a bit harsher these days, the stated grading standards haven't changed all that much. So you are looking for the same things in a VGEX card today as you were back then.
