Ever since Dudley Moore and Bo Derek, our country has graded everything on a scale of 1 to 10. We haven't been asked to adjust to a scale that starts at 5.

If some one has $ to spend on a Clemente or any other high value card and they can not read BBCG 5 "poor or better" than not to be mean but a fool and his money are soon departed. I have problem with the other b.s. grading companies that have every card graded a "10" or have trimmed cards graded with a high number, not BCCG.

Isn't "Poor or Better" already confusing? When a card is graded "Poor - 1" you at least know what flaws to expect. I agree 100% with Matt's suggestion on making BCCG only for high volume submissions.

I guess my ethical standards are higher than yours. I want more from a grading company, especially one associated with a good company like Becketts. I don't want my wife, or yours, to think she's doing a nice thing and pick me up a BCCG 7 for Christmas some year.
