It's not great for the hobby.
It's great for sellers and auction houses and holders of Ruth, Wagner & Mantle.
It's pretty awful for collectors.
They have just found out they will never get certain cards...and possibly all levels, PSA1 thru 10.
Now that being said collectors HAVE to adjust their mindset and go to Authentic, Altered, Miscut, etc. If they want these cards. It's still the same card, just a lot worse shape, kind of like your wife when you first married her.
You still love her, she just ain't Mint10 anymore, get used to it, live with it.
