Before my desired hobby changes, let me say:

1. Without ebay, the hobby would be much more difficult. I remember before ebay, when you wanted to sell, it seemed like how much were you going to loose, dealers usually paid 50-60 percent for nice stuff, you got taken to the cleaners. Big props to ebay !!!

2. Without PSA/SGC, how the *#@!&*%!! could you guarantee (98+%) the card had never been tampered with. I remember before PSA existed getting a 1966 Aaron NM-MT only to submit it years later finding out it was trimmed - the horror! And what about the real spendy stuff ? How many folks in the past got burned? Big props to reputable grading companies !!!

Changes:

1. Come on PSA, please change SMR to reflect actual market conditions, especially old vintage cards, simple and do-able request.

2. Have the "National" come to Portland, OR.
