First of all, I just hate it when an author tries to explain the whole entire hobby, from A to Z, in one freaking article! It's ridiculous and it puts the average reader to sleep!
Now, regarding Evan Mathis, I agree with his quote. The way things currently are, and the huge price differences between grades, it's obviously going to be very tempting to improve a card's condition. However, it's quite pathetic that Evan's name had to be linked to all of this. We're talking about an NFL superstar who made millions in his career. The guys who normally alter cards are bums without a profession and have no other source of income. If the accusations against Evan are true, then what's his excuse?
