What is Your Opinion About Grading?

I voted for option 1, but would have preferred something like TPG is a huge benefit, but could use some minor changes rather than a complete overhaul. One of my submissions to SGC popped, and I received a lot of 10/1.0 and 20/1.5 grades from sellers which described the cards as VG or better. There are just a lot of flaws in cards that those of us who buy raws without much experience don't see.

An overhaul (didn't use "complete") could be anything from minor to major.
