For the record, I am "somewhat" apologetic about my previous comment. But sometimes, ya' got to let it out. I came to this forum, for several reasons. 1, to increase my knowledge, about all things card related. 2, maybe come across a few nuggets for sale or trade. 3, to meet other folks who have the same passion that I do. And it is a passion. I absolutely love the hobby. Even with it's issues, problems and scoundrels that we all bang into occasionally. The vast majority of people in the hobby are decent honest people. Most dealers are decent honest business men. Most grading services, do their best, and are honest in their tasks. An extremely high percentage of E bay transactions go through without a hitch. Most auctions go on without a problem. Why is it then, that we spend such an inordinate amount of time arguing, and fighting? And for the most part, it is usually surrounding pointless issues. I learn nothing from this type of thread. I don't find any nuggets or gems for sale in this type of thread. I don't meet anyone of any consequence from this type of thread. And in fact usually find folks who I'd rather not meet. Threads often deal with, what some folks regard as shoddy work, that the graders perform. I suggest we clean up our own yard first, before we continually look to slam others. Now...can we get back to cards.
