That�s the $200 million question. I rejoined this hobby back in 2014 and one of the main reasons I buy graded is because I couldn�t tel a fake from a real card and the holder allowed me to sleep easy that they were legit.

I think you can still sleep easy that they can spot a legit from a fake, now a unconserved from a conserved, eh.

Graded I think is just where the hobby was by 2014 - I think it was to the point where seeing nice raw cards made you wonder why they weren't graded esp. with unfamiliar sellers. I don't like doing it, but I buy graded cards without a back scan and sometimes even when the scan of the front isn't great because the grade gives me an idea of the condition. Even when I've had instances where I was disappointed, I always keep the card, just not worth the hassle of the return for me. I think the TPGs are doing ok with the grading part, its the authentication part that's the issue. Maybe these two things should be broken out and done by different teams. One team should determine whether the card is genuine and if so whether it has been doctored. Then a completely different team put the number grade on it.
