<p>[QUOTE=&quot;softmentor, post: 2773040, member: 10469&quot;]I am by no means a master grader. but maybe better than novice. If I have any ability it has come from having a standard to grade from like the online grading photos and comparing graded examples. reading the basic grading standards from something like Redbook is fine for the lower grades, but once you get into the 60&#039;s it is a much more fine tuned and usually beyond my ability to make a definitive call. I can tell the dif between 62 and 65, but to tell if something is a 65&nbsp; or makes the cut to a 66, well, I only have an opinion, and I wouldn&#039;t pay me for it. LOL. For me. the dif. at that level is what appeals to me, not what would a professional grading service give it. What the pro&#039;s would give it only matters to me when I&#039;m trying to sell, and want to get the best price I can for what I&#039;m selling. For buying and personal collection, it is what my eye tells me and what I like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
