Your....."Some old timers have become gators..some will die as hobby
dinsours"
That's real "cool" talk....can you name these gators and dinosaurs in
this hobby ? Come on now, you made this statement....NAME THEM ?

And, you are wrong....collectors did not "demand" any Grading Service.
It started in early '90s, as people who screwed-up the Coin Hobby infil-
trated this hobby. At first, Grading of BB cards was reluctantly received
by many, young and old. The turning point for Grading BB cards was the
advent of Ebay; and, for obvious reasons it became much more widely
accepted.
