PWCC cracks me up

Travis-

You raise some good points. I think a lot of us have been hoping for a precision strike to put the bad actors away while keeping the best pieces of what we love. Unfortunately, such an approach might not really be possible short of sending us back to the 1980s.

Although I’m sure with this crowd there are plenty who would lustily cheer for such an outcome!

Heck yeah. Make the hobby a hobby again.

As the song goes, it's too late to turn back now.

Unfortunately, that which I wish and that which is likely to happen frequently fail to intersect.

It is much more enjoyable as an actual hobby, rather than as yet another investment vehicle laced with fraud, market pumping, vaults so you never even see your card, and graders who don’t know squat about what they are grading. Which is a minority opinion. But I would like for it to one day become a hobby again so I may do my collecting at a lower cost.

This is not a bad tune actually, although Treat Her Like a Lady is better.
