Grading can be frustrating for many people and just starting out like you are things are going to be difficult. I am still learning things now and I have been doing this for quite a long time now. Have I made costly mistakes? You can bet your barking bunyons....However, in the process I was able to learn a thing or two.
I am not trying to be rude or insulting here so please don't take me wrong here but I think you are over-complicating the issue of grading boards. Seperating the boards by their type is not so difficult when you get some basic knowledge.
As Dee said, most buyers will be more than happy to help you with grading. I myself am hoping to get a grading library put up on my website to assist customers in grading but even that will be only a drop in the bucket. I still find boards that I have never seen in different items and I need to find out from my buyer what the board is and how it fits into the grading system.
