Do you really expect that someone who starts up and owns a grading company would be someone who had no interest in the hobby?

I realize the potential for conflicts of interest here, but in the real world, I don't see any other way.

Dave Forman isn't actually grading any cards (yours, mine, or his own.) If the actual graders don't know the identity of the owners of the cards they grade, that minimizes the problem. If SGC hasn't set up that type of chinese wall, then there could be problems.
