marty q the whole graded card market is on the verge of collapse, vitage mkt i should say, all that is needed is a major auction house to be fooled with a number of bad graded cards and the trust will be gone overnight!! because if you cant buy from a trusted auction house the game is over, it does eeem much easier to duplicate 50s amd 60's cards, the pre war would be more difficult, but they will try, high profile will also be tough a psa or sgc 8 ruth card would be harder to pass than say that 64 mantle, more eyes are on the ruth than the mantle...this is a shame, and it needs addressing ""now"", the day a major auction house is duped would be a tremedous blow to the hobby....they say buy from someone you know, yeah fine, but unless they submitted the card and can provide proof, you have to question where they got the card from?? it is getting way to troublesome to enjoy collecting graded cards anymore, ""raw"" will make a strong comeback until they start again trimming, erasing borders, adding colors etc, it makes you wonder year after year auction houses galore come up with mint cards like crazy, even nm/mt, every auction has high grade cards, and plenty of them, how many have already been purchased that are fake?? makes you cringe thinikng about things like this...
