Since you asked, it does sound like there is an accusation of payola or an inappropriate business relationship with PWCC. It only makes sense that he goes radio silent on this huge story relating to vintage and modern baseball cards once it's been pointed out that his golden goose Brent is a fraudster.
Other valid sports card news outlets are reporting that there is a story, rather than burying it or ignoring it. For HolyGrail to continue to only submit stories to Forbes with positive news on the market calls into question his authenticity as a journalist.

Magazines that provide investment advice that is paid advertising must be reported to be advertising, correct? I know it is when I look through the Delta Sky magazines in the airports. If the investment advice is tainted, and being used only to prop up or increase the value of the market, the journalist is part of the shilling scheme. David probably is a good guy; but if he's on the take, he should be forthcoming that he's on the take.
