After letting the previous message sink in... I am pretty dense after all.

This BIG difference in price between SAME GRADE and DIFFERENT COMPANIES is bewildering to say the least.

IT MAKES NO SENSE!!! *** TO ME ***

(Let me pose this scenario here)

Let us say that JOHN DOE graded the PSA card I mentioned in my previous message back in 1998. Then because of a major illness to himself or a family member, he quit working for PSA. Now, after the emergency is over JOHN DOE goes back looking for work and PSA isn't hiring. So JOHN DOE goes to AGS and is hired immediately due to his background as a grader with PSA. Now JOHN DOE sees this new card (I mention in the previous message) in 2000 and gives it a MINT GEM 10!

SO WHY IS THERE SUCH AN ENORMOUS DIFFERENCE IN PRICE IF THE GRADER IS THE EXACT SAME PERSON??????

Does this message make any sense as to being another reason "WHY SLABBING ISN'T NEEDED IN OUR HOBBY?"
