PSA Bashing getting old.

The only thing I wish is that collectors still just pissed and moaned about cards and other dealers, instead of the plastic holders the cards are put in.

I also long for the days when a plastic holder got scratched up from looking at a card I would just put the card in a brand new holder. Now it costs $5. Which use to be the price of one of those fancy screw down jobs (the brick). You could make 1000 PSA cases from one of those monsters. If you told me when I was 12 I had to buy one of those every time a holder gets scratched in the future I probably would have quit collecting.

I was so proud the day I went in and bought “the brick” I finally had a card worthy of the beast it self. Everyone knew only the best cards got the brick!

I also think its amazing how every card that shows up no matter what card, who from or when it was made is trimmed. Or how about assuming that because a collector who has been around long before this grading company schtick hit. That because he hasn’t spent thousands of dollars with grading companies on his cards that they are bogus and should not be taken seriously.

Some folks said that selling you know what in you know where would be the downfall of the hobby, I think were looking at the plastic death nail to the hobby everyday.

Feel free to waste your time typing an explanation to me how grading companies have made the hobby so much better for me.
