Agreed Barry, but I don't have a problem with the grading companies assigning grades to cards, the problem is collectors thinking those grades are the word of God instead of realizing it's simply a subjective opinion after briefly examining a card that can easily change from company to company or grader to grader or day to day. The current huge price disparity between grades that exists in the hobby today is insane and I think this mindset of collectors is to blame. They are putting so much stock into a constantly changing opinion.

I believe this poll needs to add more choices as there simply are not enough to pick from

Thanks Barry, what's kinda sad is that I don't think this mindset will ever really change. Unless... alterations become so rampant in the hobby that people are just forced to be very leery of all technical grades.

It's anecdotal, but I've noticed an increasing number of sales where cards that have eye appeal much nicer then the technical grade sell quite a bit higher then the grade (and a few cases where the inverse was true as well).
