Posted By: <b>Scarecrow</b><p>I sure didn't mean to. I realize now the the thread I started (psa vs gai) is a topic that was quite often discussed on previous threads. <BR>Most of the people that answered my question were extremely helpful in me making my decision on which grading company I should invest my money with. Once again , Thank you. By the way, I choose PSA.<BR><BR>Like I stated in my original thread, I am a newbie to Vintage cards. I have been a lurker and a previous poster to the forum, however my previous post were much simpler in contrast. Stll I think it is important that Newbies, lurkers and the curious are able to post, what might be "beaten to death" questions. To a newbie, such as I, it was an important question and yes, it did refer to Vintage cards but more importantly, by asking this question I gained the help that I was seeking, which I believe is the purpose of this forum, Isn't it?<BR><BR>I now know about the search function and how to navigate the site better. I look forward to become a regular poster on the site once I gain more experience. Thanks.<BR>

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>Your question and the way you asked it was prefectly acceptable. No one is upset with you for bring up the topic. What isn't acceptable is anonymous posters making personal attacks and unwilling to indentify themselves for fear of someone stalking them or wanting to steal their collection. <BR><BR>We are very friendly group, and I like the analogy of the drrunk at a party. You don't go spouting off when you don't know anyone. There are no real hard a fast rules. All we ask is a little common courtesy and common sense and if you value privacy, then don't go shooting your mouth off and attacking people personally if you aren't willing to identify yourself.<BR><BR>Jay

You won't find it, because it didn't happen. The attacks and name calling, the misidentification, and wild accusations came from the other side. I stuck to the issue, as admittedly boring as it got.<BR>
