Lewis is my all time favorite F1 driver. Recent pick up from WCCS back in Feb, finally back from grading.

This years helmets are beautiful.

The new blue helmets are just beautiful. The best looking helmet with blue and that yellow!

Recently started to get into collecting the Sports Illustrated For Kids cards. Being an F1 fan and Lewis Hamilton fan, my first pick up. I know a few of you are collectors of these cool cards, but I never realized how low the pop reports are for graded examples above 8. It makes sense but these are low pop graded cards in high grades.

My recent pick up highlights something that needs a better solution, the subjectivity of an individual grader. More on that later. I love this card for its patch with Lewis name and his driver number in the background. PSA graded this a 6 and regraded by BGS as a 8. The gap is big -- and makes me wonder how much of card prices tied to a grade where subjectivity is such a big factor? Is there a scenario where grading shouldn't matter in a cards value or less of an impact and the cards' scarcity/provenance or significance more important?
