We are all shocked, appalled, dismayed, disgusted, etc., by the doctoring scandal. I daresay that many of us are scared too, given the investments in slabs that were made. I'd urge those who are down on the hobby as a result to step back and recalibrate a bit. If you still love collecting cards, there is no reason to quit because TPGs are rampantly incompetent and corrupt--you just need to shift your emphasis away from slabs. I've been having a ball--and saving a ton of money and storage space--collecting raw cards and replacing slabs with raw cards. To me, a little bit of honest wear is just a sign that the kid who had the card before me enjoyed it and appreciated it and saved it for me to play with before I send it on to the next kid.
