Darren J. Duet MDGrading is a virus and collector's are the host. Look to its evolution and you'll see it kill it self by destroying its host(in the sense that we'll find a cure -- old school collecting). I know many you are prominent dealers and gurus of the HOBBY and business and I have grown to respect many of you. I have been active in this hobby since the age of 5 and I am 34 now. There are many of us out there that you guys know little about yet we know a great deal about cards and the card business. I long for the time when you actually held and examined a raw card and made your own decision on condition and value.
I give credit to internet sales for expanding the market and allowing me to have access to cards I would have traveled far and wide to find. BUT I am sickened now by this virus and soon it will be cleared from my system.
Thank you to all the honest dealers, you have a friend in me.
