I’ll take TPGs
I’ll take the graders over the craziness that preceded them. Before grading, I remember walking up to a dealer at a show who was in the process of applying black magic marker to the corners of a ‘71 Clemente. That was a time when dealers sold cards that were “Mint,” but when you tried to sell them back they were “EX.” There certainly are problems today with card doctoring, the unresolved Blowout scandal, etc., but in my opinion it’s still better now than it was then.
