Gradually, over the past few months, some of the really experienced board members, wise in the ways of old ball cards, have been posting less and less. Some of them lurk a bit, but no longer post.

What has run them off is the new wave of grading, registry, association, and the like.

Eventually, one of them will set up a board like this one used to be, where old cards and old ball is discussed, instead of grading frenzy. When that haven is established, I think they'll have a moderator who deletes and bans folks who post about grading matters.

And then this board will notice a loss of wisdom and experience. No, that's not true. This board will encounter a loss of wisdom and experience, a loss that may well go unnoticed.
