But much ado about nothing. Why is it that all the people on this board have the same knee-jerk reaction and get all sanctimonious and self-righteous and on their moral high horse whenever Greg is involved just because he tamps down some paper surrounding a pinhole on a miserable off grade card, but seem to have no outrage at all about the shenanigans and fraud that are REALLY going on all over the hobby with extremely high priced cards (and others) in terms of taking out creases and stains, spooning and god knows what else to corners, most likely trimming (someone show me an oversize PSA 8 pre-war Hall of Famer or an undersize PSA 3 please??), and god only knows what else dealers are doing through their own skills or their relationships with experts in paper restoration. I am as much against "alteration" as the next person, so don't those of you who don't know me start dumping on me in a knee-jerk way, but some perspective please. Your outrage over the corruption with respect to graded cards (and probably ungraded too) is legitimate, but trying to suggest Greg is some moving force behind it or symbol of it, or that he is in cahoots with GAI based on a single card that they graded a "2," is absurd.
