I suggest we should educate ourselves like we did in the good ole days and not trust ridiculous slabs created by clueless people who have been in the hobby 5 years.

Dan you might be onto something there. A whole lot more of my collection would pass for NRMT then based on the good ole days.

Yes the grading sure was different! But it was also based on the naked eye. A gorgeous card that has a minute wrinkle that you can only see magnified 10 times, was considered NM. And that was acceptable in a hobby that had collectors instead of investors.
