I guess the answer is those grades are worth
nothing - but of course they also aren't paying
for the grades in that instance from a 3rd party
grading service, so you get what you pay for, except of course when you don't.
Was going to ask what difference does it make
where a dealer got a poster they are selling (do
I really care if they are reselling a poster
they got from Heritage as a slightly higher
grade, or if they are selling a different copy
they bought from dealer C?), I don't think there
is a big market of dealers buying expensive
posters from Heritage and then substituting
slightly lesser copies when reselling and
telling prospective customers it's the same one that sold at Heritage.
But then Doug pointed out the one instance where
it would be useful - for the advanced collector
who is trying to avoid re-acquiring a poster
they sold. (Of course this only works for more
common pieces like Saucer-men anyways, as I
doubt Doug would be dumping a one-sheet from
Cimarron in the hopes of upgrading).

Yes Richard I have. 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.
Regards,
Todd

Obviously if it is damaged in transit or torn
while opening the package the grade is not
longer worth anything. (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..
