I'm not very familiar with this whole process as I have none of my cards graded but in looking at ebay and comc there appear to be tons of cards in the $5 range that are graded. What's the point? Doesn't the grading process cost more than the card is worth?
Lawsuit alleges the Giants faked items so Eli could keep the originals. Seems pretty widespread (if true).
