Grading is important , it gives a a reliable grade that to a point is accepted as industry norm.
I am all for graded comics do the research on the grader
This can allow commerce. A raw comics is a disputable grade to advantage of seller or buyer, certified reduces that with a few minor exceptions. The premium is the " Trust Factor" we now have. I goes for comics cards signature items (coa) even gemstones Industries need a standard and that will increase intrinsic value , see the iso standards many companies use and will only deal with other iso certified companies
