haha that was true but it was more absurd on dealers saying their card was mint or near mint...the disparity between the different dealers assessment of what near mint was very broad...

It found the point of absurdity many years ago.

I highly disagree because when this seller of raw cards highly over grades their cards we are talking a few $100 now the difference between a 9 Mint or 10 Gem Mint card is several $1000 and lets not even talk about the 10 that should be a 7 or 8 that would be basically worthless without the 10 on the flip.

Its PSA's opinion that counts..not the seller that wants to sell you a card ....PSA is the third party.......i cant imagine how many returns there would be on ebay if alll cards were raw and bought at 'mint' or near mint.....much less returns they are with PSA cards whether ugly or not...i think you would agree on that..
