With all this talk about corrupt grading companies...deviants altering cards to get bumps...then reselling through clearing houses like Probstein at a dramatic increase in price...altered scans in some of the most "reputable" major auction houses we know?

I Present my t216 bb miller...1st scan is goodwins(not a crease is visible)...2nd is mine when I received the card(multiple creases evident):


This hobby has been full of crooks since I started collecting...and I suppose none of this is new...but these days things seem out of control.

The Babe Ruth Fro Joys values have virtually been destroyed due to the plethora of counterfeits out there...is it possible all of this corruption can destroy this hobby?

Has any other hobby been destroyed by corruption?

Is this just "the way it has become"...caveat emptor reigns supreme?
