I regard this shift as a change in paradigm for the hobby. Much as the way technology has changed the workplace, the home, travel, etc. it has caught up with trading card collecting. Its value created a value-added that has really overwhelmed the hobby, as can be inferred from these posts.

For me, considering the cost of better quality cards, I am happy that there is some form of grading. It would be good if there were only one superior grading service but 2 is OK for now.

The fall of GAI from the industry is a good thing. I believe in the survival of the fittest.
