I love collecting way too much for this scandal to pull me away from it. But it has served to re-reinforce the ‘buy the card not the holder’ motto.

There are a few cards in Heritage I am really looking to add - I certainly looked a bit closer at cards and a bit less accepting of what the flip says. But I am ready to spend to add to my collection and wouldn’t be upset if this meant slightly lower prices. Going forward, though I don’t expect any dramatic dip.

I actually feel like business has picked up for me.

Do any other sellers feel that way?

I've always had "- PWCC" in every single ebay search (plus Dean's, Probstein and Burbank) I do, so I have never had to deal directly with their crapstorm. Doesn't protect me 100% from bad cards (Maybe they sold them to people I eventually bought them from? Dunno. Hope not.), but as a pretty small money collector, I still love the heck out of collecting cards, because it allows me to live in the past and not have to deal with how ridiculous my 2019 Mets are.

Let me slip in a positive word for my LCS, Burbank Sportscards. They don't deserve to be lumped in with the PWCCs and Probsteins of the world: Rob and crew are as nice and honest as you could hope for. Their pricing can be high but they cater to people who want the card quickly and are willing to pay for the infrastructure to deliver it.

I agree with Darren on this. I can't speak for him but, for me, it's not a matter of their honesty, it's the fact that they use (or at least used to) stock photos for many of their cards. Stock photos SUCK!
