T206Collector1) These e-mails were exchanged at a time when the true purpose of my offer was to see if he was willing to put his money where his mouth was on the issue of the accuracy of T206 cards graded 8 by PSA. Of course grading is subjective. That's the point. To choose PSA 8 as a holier-than-thou collecting cut off for pre-war cards makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE if grading is subjective. Having gotten the admission that he agreed that PSA 8's are subjective, I felt I had made my point and I stopped speaking with him.
2) The answers that he provided in response to my e-mails demonstrate an entirely different point -- that is to say that his interest in ridding the world of trimmed/altered cards stops with his own collection. I never got on my soap box and said anything other than SGC's buy-back guarantee is sufficient for me. He was out there saying we need to do more. His answers to my offer demonstrates that he is not willing to do more with respect to his own collection, which makes them particularly relevant for this thread. In short, the only person that should have to keep submitting their cards to PSA and SGC is the person who wants to make absolutely 100% certain that the hobby is pure. To sit on your unpure cards, and spout out at the unpure cards of others, is hypocrisy.
