I totally agree with this statement, with so many scammers out there selling resored copies as unrestored,or inaccurate overblown grading, CGC helps to clarify that the copy you are receiveing is or is not restored and the condition of your copy. If you are the original owner of let's say the Watchmen 1 or Hulk 181 9.9, then right now you are feeling pretty estatic. I do not buy anything raw off ebay and certain dealers because of the uncertainty. Greedy scum is what if anything runs the hobby. I would personally spend big bucks for a CGC comic then something raw that might be restored, plus you have alot of new people getting into collecting who no nothing about comics to begin with and spend huge amount of money on books that movie based and have not slowly matured into their current value, but as a seller those are the one's we are after. There are so many misinformed people that don't know the going values and dish out 10.00 for GPA analysis. To me CGC is just a service if you dislike CGC then send all your comics to PGX.
