Barry - the hobby misses your auctions for sure.


To be truthful -

I don't have any problem with an auction house owning lots - but I do believe those auction houses should disclose the ownership in their catalog.

I also don't have a problem with employees of a grading company owning cards. I would just like for there to be checks and balances to be in place to ensure that the graders don't know who the submitters are.


Lets face it....
you have to trust the employees in any auction house / or any grading company. If insiders are looking to defraud people - they sure have easy access to the ways to do so (no matter what rules are in place).
