Oh for goodness sake, why doesn't anyone actually look for this information
rather than spout suspicious shady theories?

Your questions have not been answered because
A/ No One knows or the info is not being offered- however it will be CGC and
they will be making profit from their services and who owns CGC or has a large
stake in CGC?
Only the Shadow knows...
B/ There lies the rub...we all know that none of the lobby card "experts" are
on the panel/committee However I woiuld put Sean Linkenbacks name forward to be
on that committee we all know he is trustworthy enough to do the job, but you
need more than just one so now it comes down to whom else and if Sean wants the
job.
At least it will be regular work!

I see your point, but I would never do this because it is deceptive. If the
"slabbers" can sell the hobby on their idea, so be it.
But I doubt they will do much convincing of long time collectors. They likely
will get a bunch of comic book and baseball card people involved. people who
have a love of "investing" rather than a love of lobby cards, and that's their
right.
By the way, is it not painfully obvious that my two main questions have been
completely avoided? Maybe I wrote too many words in asking the questions, so I
will shorten them!
1) Exactly who is doing the grading, and what is their prior experience grading
lobby cards?
2) Exactly who owns the grading company (percentages, if it is owned by several
people)?
