Jim, Copeland was the one that created the monster that lead to the high end market getting killed. Hence, you can thank him for the slabbed stupidity and lazy collectors that no long bother to learn about the cards they collect. Do you honestly think that in the early days of PSA that they were finding more altered cards then they do today? I'm guessing more got by because the doctors were ahead of the game at that time.

Reciting the history and how many cards in a set is nothing. Having a card in your hand and being able to tell that the finish looks wrong, the thickness doesn't feel right, the card stock doesn't look right etc, that is true knowledge of a set.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
