Jim as best I can tell the stuff keeps going for record prices -- unless you subscribe to the theory that what you see in terms of prices realized may not always be real. If the prices are real, it would seem most people either trust the grading services or don't care, as long as the card is slabbed. And if that is the case, the economic incentive for someone to take a stand and say I won't accept consignments from x y and z, or I will insist on an independent review of slabbed cards before putting them into my auction, just isn't there right now.
