My favorite excuses are soaking is not altering and it isn't shill bidding as long as I pay the winning bid.

Caring about PSA's inability/unwillingness to identify altered cards and caring about shill bidding are NOT silly. If you really don't care about those things, you should not be a collector.

Expecting something to actually be done to fix it could be deemed silly (only because there is no form of regulation in this broken hobby). Hopefully that will change, as more eyes are focused on this matter.

That said, Mastro and Allen DID do prison time, and PWCC (who engaged in both card alteration AND shill bidding) is now gone. So at least there's that.
