Default Is the Grading System Broken?

Posted By: Perry Eaves

Do any of my fellow collectors have any cards slabbed PSA that you "suspect" have a problem that you would like to sell cheap? I'm a buyer as long as they are PSA graded. Dump them now while you can. Seems like on this board you only get respect if you collect an ungraded bent up card. Buy a $5k graded Cobb and you are an investor who is contributing to the downfall of the hobby. Buy an obscure E card with creases and a ripped back and you are a hobby pioneer. I'm not a betting man but with no further knowledge than what i have I will take Jim C's collection over boxingcardmans anyday. Which one contributed to a checklist or considers himself an expert? who cares. Show me the money. PSA has saved this hobby. You read that correctly. PSA has saved the hobby. Anyone that buys a card that doesn't expect or hope that it goes up in price is a liar. Unless you are buying ungraded junk which is worthless anyway and always will be. A PSA 5 is a PSA 5 plain and simple. Not rocket science. They are not always perfect but I will take my chances with a PSA card over a raw card anyday.
