This is why I stay away from bats and balls and gloves and jerseys and autographs.

Way too much room for "error."



As far as card grading is concerned...

I have never doubted that certain people can probably get a "bump up" on their cards, but I don't think too many counterfeits are slipping through.

When they do, the reputable grading companies seem to buy them back.

If we did NOT have reputable card "authenticators", I think the card hobby would be full of counterfeits and forgeries and other crap.

Then again ... if it ever turns out that SGC and PSA have NOT been doing their job properly ...

there will be Hell to pay.
