Yeah, I figured it would come down to that eventually. Thanks Perry for showing the true colors of the plastic worshippers. It's all about the Benjamins, isn't it?

And PSA saved the hobby? That's a laugh. The hobby was doing just dandy without PSA. There were shows every weekend in major cities, unprecedented National attendance, and a nice strong market. Of course if you hadn't taken the time to develop the technical expertise to evaluate a purchase you certainly were vulnerable to buying a trimmed card. Guess what: you still are, but it will cost you a lot more money and come entombed in a slab. PSA was, is and always will be a money-making business designed to scare the naive and the inexperienced. It is brilliant marketing, don't get me wrong, but the savior of the hobby? Not.
