I was mainly a collector at first for many years, and then a few years ago my interest changed, then I started looking at the hobby as a business for myself and my family. If you are a dealer or a collector, the true fact is we are all trying to make good investments and decisions. The hobby is a lot of fun, but I am not a kid anymore and family is very important. There has been disturbing news in the hobby, but there are always ups and downs with everything. I still enjoy the shows and auctions, selling and buying to keep me informed with which way the hobby is going. We all know the grading system needs to be improved, but every business or industry does. When buying high dollar items, just use your knowledge and judgment yourself, do not let the grading system effect your choice – the card is what you are buying not the holder. I have turned to buying more ungraded cards, but still a strong buyer of graded cards so there is balance for my customers.
