they did tighten the grading, the other company isn't comprised of a bunch of bums and competition is healthy. I bet down the line the prices even out more but for the time being, I'm in agreement that you can score a deal on the right book just cause its in the voldy, get it in a cgc case and make a fast profit on a key. I mean come on, 8.5 or not that af 15 was a steal at what it sold for. Ol' Mr Magik Woo's book would have gotten more in a different holder, what's the worst that book is? a 7.5? No way it's less, maybe it's more. Yeah if I was selling a book like that right now I'd have gotten it in a cgc first.
