Mike,

Here's a story on how the hobby has changed. I was at a small Holiday Inn card show recently. I saw a well-centered 1959 Topps Bob Gibson Rookie sitting at a dealer's table which was apparently underpriced.

I didn't want to take advantage of the dealer so I told him that it was difficult to find well-centered Bob Gibson rookie cards and perhaps his price was too low. After a little thought the dealer agreed with me, then I asked him how much he wanted for the card, at this point the dealer told me he didn't want to sell me the card. Not only that but he wanted to continue displaying the card in his case.

This just proves to you the truth in the old adage, "No good deed goes unpunished."
