Yes, I was somewhat selective about condition (and still am), but I feel like after spending enough years around cards I should be able to identify what I am looking for without "help" from TPGs.

Hate it all you want - the only thing it will get you is "hate" to deal with. The TPG's aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I certainly agree with the sentiments on how ridiculous some of the prices paid for VERY imperfectly assigned graded cards are, but as PT Barnum understood - as long as there is a sucker willing to part with his money, someone needs to be there to help him out. My 2 cents - don't waste your time hating - collect in the way that you want and what you love!
Disclosure - I happen to like the TPG's when I sell highly graded cards ;-)
