warshawlawI see it as desirable. I want them to compete over the "best of the best of the best" and leave the mid and low grade stuff to big, dumb, unrefined peasants like me who just can't appreciate the rarified merits of their passion.
As far as I am concerned the set registry bunch can take their 8's and stick 'em; I'm not interested. I'll probably die with the core collection still in my possession, so whether they are worth more than someone else's cards doesn't matter to me because mine aren't going anywhere until I take the dirt nap. But please don't insult my intelligence or my collection by arguing the greater artistic merits of a razor-edged, plastic-preserved piece of cardboard that looks like it was cut yesterday versus one of my well-loved pasteboard friends. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not in the label on the PSA holder.
