Leon,

With all due respect it not just about the wrinkles. Please read my post again. Its about trimming, restoration, disclosure, a code of ethics for the hobbhy, dealers signing on to this--Its the central issue facing the hobby.

Dave,

To address your post on my locked thread, I think that over time virtually all cards of value will be graded. The ungraded cards will largely be ones that have been altered but cannot get into a graded holder.

Will graded cards go down in value--certainly if collectors lose confidence in the ability of the grading companies ability to detect alterations they will--which is why serious collectors appreciate what I am doing here.
