Who is the biggest culprit?
For the decline of bb card collecting?
1) Price Guides (Namely Beckett) for assigning monetary value to cards
2) Grading Companies (Looking your way PSA) for overemphasizing condition
3) MLB for turning baseball's pastimes into 2 leagues of haves and have-nots
4) Technology (ex: video games) for making card collecting obsolete and/or less relevant
5) Various card companies for flooding the market during the 80s-modern era/overpricing
6) Other
In my opinion, price guides, turning the hobby into a business. Your thoughts?
