Everyone knows and maybe 3 people care and weirdly 2 of them collect mainly PSA cards in high grade.

Nothing in this hobby makes sense. I used to care but after it caused me a LOT of problems I now just laugh and say nice card(s).
That it should be obvious it is a racket is not a reason it is not fraud. It’s incredibly obvious that the Nigerian prince in my inbox isn’t a Nigerian prince and is going to defraud me. That it’s not a clever scam doesn’t mean it’s not a scam and the fraudster has not committed fraud if I pay him.

I often think that hobbyists can’t be this gullible, illogical and dumb. That thought still hasn’t rectified the situation
