If collectors only did their homework on grading this stuff and stopped being such nickel mercenaries, perhaps we wouldn't need companies like PSA, Beckett or SGC. Even Burdick, Lionel Carter and Buck Barker knew that there had to be a value placed on these cards, but they cautioned against high values which they believed could destroy the Hobby. I cant disagree that their assessment. I believe there are a lot of inflated pricing going on and that SMR and PSA should be 100% separated because it appears to be a conflict of interest.

I’m with you 100% and was joking about PSA being the ultimate authority. If you check just a few of my other posts, you’ll see we view it the same. PSAs credibility has taken a nosedive. I thought I could get by without the sarcasm emoji after railing against them so many times now.
That said... this Nodgrass is just another of their many disgraces.
