My 2 cents - don't waste your time hating - collect in the way that you want and what you love!

Disclosure - I happen to like the TPG's when I sell highly graded cards ;-)
I hear ya. Your argument is just some of the reason I haven't cracked out cards. Also, in this day and age, so many cards are bought by me on line as opposed to in person. I don't hate anyone...I just wish it were simpler. But, you are correct, we all must collect our own way. There is no wrong way. I feel hypocritical because I essentially depend on the TPGers in that they tell me whether or not the card has been trimmed/altered.
