Geez.. This holier-than-thou shtick is ridiculous. PSA has kept this hobby on a level playing field for 25 years. I remember buying raw cards in catalogs sight unseen and almost always being disappointed with the condition. That was the hobby we used to live in. A card advertised as "EX-MT" in the old monthly circulars were almost always EX or worse.
Now I can confidently buy cards sight unseen or with a bad scan because I have some very reasonable assurance that the card is unaltered and in the advertised condition. Not only that, but if it isn't unaltered or in the advertised condition, I have an additional financial guarantee beyond the seller. PSA did that for us. This hobby was a cesspool of greed and fraud in the 1990's. That was where we were at and I'm not trying to go back.
