[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 2340144, member: 76863"]Because grading from pictures in the first place is inaccurate, you can get within spitting distance of a grade usually but to come to concrete conclusions from them is silly. Secondly Heritage would have been a more reasonable source, or Great Collections. At least with Heritage or Great Collections the picture taking is relitively consistent so you have a little more of an idea what something should look like in hand. With ebay the pictures are all over the place in quality, how they were taken, some are even scans, there is absolutely no consistency what so ever. He also came to more reasonable conclusions in his write up and wasn't claiming 12s were now at least a 40.[/QUOTE]
