This is a joke right??? What could possibly damage our hobby-"industry"? Come on now.....within the past few years we've had the major auction house in the hobby involved in shill bidding and other shenanigans......
we've had a big-time dealer caught in the act of trimming and re-slabbing cards......
we've had what was thought of as the premier T206 website discredited as nothing but a scam.....
we've had a recession and a few bounces......
both "industry" leading grading services have clear conflicts of interests......
reprints can be purchased on eBay by the barrel-full.......
PSA has been rumored to be near bankruptcy.....
the premier card in the hobby has a questionable background.....
some cards in the hobby might have been accumulated via questionable means....
Cardboard can now be garnished by doctors with no medical degree required....
'52 Mantle rookie cards reside in fake but darn-near real PSA holders....
Roaches Corner still has a website.......etc, etc, etc.
Yet, I still can't find an Old Judge for $25 dollars, our hobby-industry keeps right on chugging; Cho-Cho.....Chag-a Chag-a Chag-a.....Cho-Cho!!!
Lovely Day...
