Throw in a dash of Exponential Registry Pricing, egomaniacal Registry collectors with deep pockets, complicit third party graders, a complicit venue or three and an essentially unregulated hobby.

Is anyone really surprised?

Not only has the front door been left open for fraud, but a red carpet has been rolled out inviting trimmers, chemists, bleachers, graders, marketplaces, etc to prosper.

Tulip Mania (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania) actually made more sense, but vintage registry baseball cards are a close second.

Happy collecting.:D

100% Agree....No Accountability and No Consequences for Trimmers, Doctors, Bleachers,and Shillers ect. This Industry is the Wild Wild West .... Always has been about one thing and one thing only..... MONEY

We really need an assist from Law Enforcement, or else the graded card will eventually go the way of the Beanie Baby.

Remember when Beanie Babies were prevalent at almost every card show? It wasn't all that long ago. :eek:
