There are many sides to the hobby, many scammers and charlatans, and many agendas. The great thing about this board is that while it has a lot of positivity about collecting, it doesn't shy away from the unsavory aspects of the hobby. If anything I wish there was more open discussion of the fraudsters. I've occasionally bought some fake stuff in recent years and learned the hard way.
Let's face it, for those dropping thousands on pieces of cardboard, this is not the collecting you did when you were 10 years old riding a bike down the street whistling with cards clipped to the spokes. I welcome all discussions, positive and negative. Short of unfair character assassination of course.
