+1, or 100. With due respect to the poster offering this service, in my opinion this could not be more ridiculous. I am supposed to pay money for an outside chance of getting a purple sticker representing a second third-party grader's opinion on whether a card is high end for the grade which anyone can see for himself from a good scan?

He also seems to be very selective of which questions get answered. I guess those questions got the purple sticker.

If your eye is so good at deciding what is high end for the grade one would think a lot more than 1% of your collection would get a purple sticker. If you can’t pick out high end cards for your own collection why should I trust you to tell me what is high end for mine?

It's only a conflict of interest if "too many" of his own were stickered. No conflict to sticker some though, I guess. Why not just say "+++++++++++" in the listing? It's about as meaningful.

Still waiting for other board memebers to tell us about his qualifications since he seems unwilling to do so.

Can I get a PWCC Certified High End and a Purple Label on the same card?

And after that, you can get a dual graded SGC and PSA card. Slab surrounding slab, think of it.

Imagine ... if PSA gave extra registry points to CHE or Pink Label cards, no matter how infinitesimally small, the usage of these "silly" services would skyrocket.

Reminds me of Stephen Wright's line:

Yesterday I made instant coffee in a microwave and traveled back through time.

Chances are this question will not be answered. I don’t what the crossover rate would be
