Narrow-minded? In what way? Am I not allowed to make up my own mind? Even if I decide to pass on graded cards?

Yes, righteous I am. Some of us have much to be righteous about. Jealousy though will get you nowhere.

Hey, I can go you one better. I couldn't care less about either SGC's business or yours. I care about only about the cards themselves and by extension the hobby of collecting cards.

Oh, I agree! But cards aren't just about the money to me. And that's why I reserve the right not to act as a cheerleader on their behalf.

Sorry. An 8 is not an 8 is not an 8 to me. I buy the card, not the number on the label. You may call it a sense of entitlement, but I reserve the right to make up my own mind.

You have the right to target the fungible crowd. I'm not part of that crowd though and I reserve the right to just say "No".

Fully understandable. What I don't understand though is how/why you were somehow compelled to cheerlead for SGC's services after I encouraged collectors to just say "No!" and then labelled my own rejection of SGC's services "narrow-minded and self-righteous". I mean what's it to you? Do you have some kind of ownership interest in PSA? If not, why toot their horn? Why not just let them speak for themselves?
