I was thinking the same thing as Fred: maybe all the grading services are suffering from fewer cards being submitted than in the past, and without some new revenue stream they will be hurting. So they may all need to find new ways to structure their businesses, and increase submissions. Perhaps the autograph authenticating market still has a lot of growth potential, more so than baseball cards.
I also predict a lot of consolidation in 2011. There are too many auction houses, and too many auctions. Perhaps by merging forces the industry will be stronger.
