Actually, this is a key issue for me.
I’ve bought a few posters that were grossly over rated. Often, I couldn’t return them because I may have purchases while living in London or HK and had shipped to a US address. By the time I returned home for holiday, and cracked open the tubes, it would be far too late to return. When I sell one of these, I would love to make certain that I never get it back.

What I meant by that statement is; if the detraction to creating a better un-biased grading system is that the poster might be damaged in some way after it leaves our site, days or even years later, the same thing can and does happen right now with posters and EVERYONE is grading them. So what are those grades worth??? At least with what we are doing there is NOW a permanent record that can be used as a reference for the grade when it was in our hands. If Heritage or Bruce sells a Saucer-Men 1sht in VG condition to Dealer A who then resells it as a FINE to Dealer B who then resells it again as a Warren scale C7 there is no way to tell if any damage has occurred in handling let alone if it is even the SAME poster since there is no mark on it to tell us that it is. An unscrupulous person could pass off a different slightly lesser condition original Saucer-Men 1 sheet as the one purchased in VG condition and who would ever no the difference??? This system addresses these issues. Once again, it is NOT a perfect mousetrap, just a little better than what we currently have.

(It is funny that this issue never seems to be thought of when people buy posters under the current system.) Todd.. haven't you ever seen some one post about "how sh*tty that auction company packaged" or "that stupid ebay seller who used no cardboard" ??? everyone is thinking about condition when stuff is being handled or shipped..
