JimCrandellI have gotta laugh at these guys who consider themselves the heart and soul of the hobby who think its just fine to restore and alter cards as they see fit and to ridicule those who are trying to restore honesty and integrity back to the hobby.
I also have got to laugh at the idea that somehow high grade psa or sgc holders is where most of the altered cards lie. Hey, there is a reason most of these ungraded cards are not in holders and that is because they cannot grade because they are altered. And you low-grade collectors--it is easier to alter low grade than high grade cards.
Lastly I have to laugh at the allegations that somehow the 5-10 fold increase in high grade vintage graded card prices over the last decade or so and the fear that it might reverse is driving the decision to bring ethics back into the hobby.
