They always seemed to grade things on a whim.
Hopefully, these guys give them a run for their money... and if they'll actually grade open toys and are more thorough with their grading system than they probably will.

I do like the the way this new company does their grading. Up to 6 subgrades, and then averaged out grade. NICE
