It is like so many other things in our society. People have lost the ability to do things for themselves and have to delegate the task to others. People need to be able to figure out for themselves if a card is doctored or not. Ideally, you should know more about the cards you collect than the guy at SGC or PSA. I find it interesting that when collecting was a hobby and the word investment never entered into the same sentence as baseball card, collectors knew alot about what they collected. Now that serious money is being spent on these little pieces of cardboard I believe the average collector knows less about what he collects. Seems a little backwards.
