Stickering for eye appeal may have value to blind investors or market pumpers. It’s pretty stupid for the rest of us. I think I can tell if a card looks nice by using my eyeballs instead of an appeal to authority.

Dammit, I need confirmation of my card's greatness from an authority!

Wow - it seems to always be something. How do you think they would rank my 49 Campanella rookie?

The presence of the "sticker" just increases the odds that the card is altered. Bad idea.
TPG grading should be going the exact opposite direction. Would love to see the emergence of a grading company that simply determines whether the card is authentic and unaltered. Forget the arbitrary contrived number... the card's owner can determine that for himself.

Pretty sure you can tell them to just authenticate the piece, and not give it a grade. Of course, while it’s an option, it’s not a particularly attractive option for most pieces that you expect to garner a grade above 1.

I find the PWCC auction listing descriptions laughable, every card “looks nicer” than its grade. So EVERYTHING they auction is undergraded?! |

That is best in class, where the class is comprised of Campanella rookies with masking tape on them.

If you have eyes you don't need a sticker to tell you about something's eye appeal.
A grade for an autograph is similarly ridiculous. If you need someone to tell you if an autograph is mint, you shouldn't be collecting autographs. Last edited by drcy; 07-20-2024 at 08:19 PM. |

My first thought was that they hired one of the judges from the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and needed a position that would utilize his talents.

Am I to understand that these stickers are given by HA to consigned pieces that they deem to be “Best in Class”? If so, to maintain an even playing field does LOTG, REA, etc also need their own “Best in Class” award? If not, who is making this determination?
