Obviously, the last 48 hours on this board have revealed a lot of information about graded baseball cards that trouble many, including myself. And clearly Jim Crandell is among those who are very concerned. While not everyone approves of his somewhat aggressive stand, I think he is making it clear that he wants some answers about what is going on behind the scenes. I realize for people who collect VG or raw cards this could be a nonissue. For those who have significant money in high end cards, it is an important issue. He may not get all of these dealers to come on and talk about their businesses, but that is each dealer's prerogative. Perhaps we can all do away with the word "witch hunt" though. For those who have responded Jim has been very polite and those dealers were happy to answer the tough questions. Let's just see how this all unfolds.
