Guys,

We pretty much agree that the money part is not necessarily bad. Also, there are some who blame the investors and speculators for the trimmed and colored cards.

That is also unfair. Investors and speculators may take a gamble on the market but they want to get their money fairly.

Thieves and counterfeiters are simply attracted by the money. They don't care beans about the hobby and kids. They don't care about who they screw, they probably think counterfeiting bills are too dangerous because the feds will go after them. So they counterfeit baseball cards.

The hobby needs to work together to stop counterfeiters. We need to work with the graders and the law enforcement people.
