"The Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector" magazine
Posted By: boxingcardman
had an expose/rant by Dennis Purdy (publisher of the magazine) about third party graders called "Card Grading Services; Smoke Detectors Without Batteries." The services excoriated were PSA and ASA (Hager's outfit) and covered all of what are now the usual bases: trimmed cards, fake prices in the guides, s******g where they eat (selling graded cards they graded), etc. It was very entertaining and quite a muckraking piece at the time and more or less made the rep of the magazine for hard-hitting criticism of the underbelly of the hobby.
