I believe the majority of us don't fall into this group. Companies like PSA and SGA should prosecute these people to help ensure the intergrity of their industry. When we purchase over the internet it is often like flipping a coin on the validty of ther card. This was previously the case with raw cards and now this is the case with graded cards.

This particular mess isn't on PSA. It's not on SCG. Not Ebay. Not Paypal.
It falls on a company that no longer exists (GAI), the seller, and uneducated buyers. Allocate the blame in whatever proportion you'd like.
It won't stop until someone buys some of his cards and LEAVES NEGATIVE FEEDBACK! If you buy his cards, find out you've been scammed, and then leave positive feedback, you've become part of the problem.
A simple line stating "1938 Goudey cards are fake and the seller knows it!" would suffice.
Edited to add: By the way, anyone reading this thread who doesn't go all the way back, but at least to post #50, is doing themselves a disservice! BEST. THREAD. EVER.
