So here we see reasons not to buy raw cards, while on other threads in this forum I see reasons not to trust third party graders which leads me to conclude that I shouldn't buy graded cards either. My options seem to be to either become an expert myself or stay away from anything valuable/rare enough to be worth the effort of forging/repairing/etc. Is that about right? Because even for me putting together 1988 Topps sets over and over is going to get boring pretty quick..... :-)
