new idea for grading

[Archive]

Through discussion I think we have all come up with a reasonable solution: in cases where the card possesses a real photograph, perhaps a type of qualifier along with a physical grade would be extremely useful, and each collector could determine what importance he wants to place on the quality of the image. Leon's Kalamazoo Bat is a perfect example of a card that should grade SGC-100; but the fact is that would be leaving out some natural wear visible on the card. All I am saying is we have seen all the major grading services make changes over the years (did the AUTH category even exist a couple of years ago?) so here is another issue to discuss the next time they sit down to evaluate how to improve their product.
