This seems good from a grading standpoint but personally, as a purest collector, I don't like my collectibles in plastic "cages". I like to touch, feel and "smell" my paper gems. I've never understood putting photographs in the plastic holders and would hate to have posters or similar items in them as well. What's next - cut autograph pages in plastic cages? Don't get me wrong - we have to consider individual differences but I think that most collectors are like me.
In any event, it's a great thing that CGC will start to grade window cards.

CGC employs a 10-point grading scale for lobby cards and mini window cards based on the industry standard scale used for comics and magazines pioneered by CGC in 1999, the company said. "The same accurate, consistent and impartial grading that has made CGC the preeminent comic and magazine grading company lends itself to movie lobby cards and mini window cards," the company said in a written statement. "Known throughout the hobby as the world's most experienced and accurate third-party grading service, CGC has established itself over the last 13 years as the premier place to have your comics, magazines, photos and lobby cards certified. CGC's lobby card encasement is a sealed and tamper-evident holder of a heavy gauge archival plastic with binder holes. The fully transparent front and back allows complete viewing of the card and protects from any improper handling or soiling. If an owner wants to remove the card from the holder they can merely cut the holder open and remove the card, although that would nullify the grading," they said. -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 26 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.
