There may be a short term blip due to this grading fiasco, but long term the hobby will right itself and you should do just fine.
Barry--Your advice works to a point. On truly rare cards you buy them when you see them. Pass now and you may never get an opportunity again. I can think of several good examples in 19th century cards and I know you can too.
