Graded Card Moral and Ethical Issue

Posted By: barrysloate

Gilbert- I guess what I am really feeling is a level of frustration. I feel confident that I can grade a baseball card as well as any of the graders. I do think that they are much better than I am in detecting altered or trimmed cards. Yet if I give an opinion on a card that differs from what the slab says, I would lose that argument 100% of the time. The grade on the label is an opinion, but that opinion is given tremendous weight. As such, I've practically given up grading cards anymore. I send them in to be slabbed and sell them as per the label. I just can't fight it anymore.
