Kenny Colethat there is a huge difference between someone buying a PRO graded card with full knowledge of what that might mean and a novice with no idea doing the same thing.
Nick isn't stupid. He's as knowledgeable about cards as most. He's taking a calculated risk. It may work out well, it may work out poorly. Time will tell. In any event, telling him he must be stupid for taking the risk is, itself, sort of stupid. It simply means that you are looking at the holder, not the card. In my view, people with "supposed" card knowledge should know better than to do that, whether the holder is PRO, GAI, PSA or SGC.
While I agree that there are problems with many, if not most, PRO graded cards, I can't believe anyone would claim that every card they grade is bad. Nick, if you decide to get it, I hope it works out.
