Frank- the freedom of speech issue aside, since that is a digression from the main topic of card trimming, I agree 100% that the new wave of collectors lean on the opinions of the grading companies more than they should. And I agree that all collectors should learn as much as they can about cards themselves.

But I also feel that threads concerning slabbed cards are useful in that a lively one can be educational too. And I would never recommend that if we discussed graded cards for too long, Leon should put a lock on the thread and not allow it to go on. There is something to be learned from any intelligent discussion (and please don't suggest that "intelligent discussion" and "graded cards" in the same sentence is incompatible ).
