Geez. That introduction hold back no punches.

“Baseball-card collecting really ought to be extinct. It’s an analog hobby in a digital world, an expression of fandom in a sport whose attendance is in slow decline and whose cultural relevance is in free fall.”

Have to wonder if eBay will be a defendant.

Anyone who thinks baseball's cultural relevance is in free fall honestly has their head in their ass. Baseball is the one American sport talked about and debated endlessly. . . 12 months a year, 365 days a year. Baseball hall of fame debates all winter. Baseball cheating discussions all winter. Endless. Never stops. That's a silly point. Wait till the contract for Major league broadcasting is up for renewal. Someone will pony up billions.

Completely agree Steve.

Personally I don't see this going anywhere except costing everyone more money. Even though SGC is not listed, their prices could rise due to higher risk insurance or risk overall. The only way I see this as being cut and dry, is if someone on the inside testifies that fraud was taking place. Once this is settled, I don't really see much impact to PSA or PWCC. It might bankrupt Probstein though. All PSA has to do is show somewhere in all their fine print that the grades they give are their opinion and does not guaranty their grade will crossover to a competitor. I'm sure they've learned how to cover their ass on this subject over the years.
