Frank WakefieldWhat this HOBBY needs is about another 1000 Jim Crandalls.
Then, there would be so much frenzy over grades, card soaking, slabbing of slabs, population reports, and the like, that the hobby of card collecting would completely crash (I would hope). The JCs could march off. Then the rest of us who just like to collect cards and aren't that concerned about card values or whether someone touched a card, the rest of us could resume card collecting.
So I'm all for Jim, and a thousand more like him. Let them crusade against everything. "So Be It!"
My personal card collecting hobby focuses on the players and the history of the game, reaching back in time with pieces of cardboard and paper (I kinda like the little strip cards, didn't at first) that are contemporary with the players' careers. My hobby is not about seeking out a PSA 8 or 9 of anything.
