So, another scorned submitter lashing out.
I'm frankly puzzled what people mean when they say stuff like, "can't stand what has happened to this part of the hobby."
Were they around in the 90s when literally 80% of the stuff on ebay was fake? Did they go to any of the shows in the 90s when many of the show dealers were selling Marino Family forgeries and no one knew it? Have they forgotten the so-called reputable dealers like B&J Collectibles and Stans Sports selling forgeries by the truckload at shows and in big glossy magazine ads?
Admittedly, the hobby has its issues, but it's way cleaner now than it was a decade ago.
