Some people here want to collect pristine graded cards, and see no purpose in collecting anything else. A few, like me, don't like graded cards, the ones we do buy we break out, and we see no purpose in the population reports and set registry and all. I've refrained from bashing slab folks lately. And this isn't to bash them now.
If someone wants to collect PSA 1s, I think that is fine. I don't think I'll ever collect slabbed cards. Personally, I find it easier to determine a card's authenticity if I can hold and examine it. For me, that is more accurate than putting faith in a PSA label. But... should I one day start trying to put together a graded set, the idea of seeking out PSA 1s so I could have the lowest registered set sure is attractive to me. I really think that's what I'd do.
For the guy trying to put together a bunch of affordable white border tobacco cards, let him buy ungraded cards in G-VG condition, he can learn about the cards, their production, the brands, the players, their history. He can hold a card in one hand and a black light in the other... He can understand the little rascals.
No law suits.
If they send more emails, post the entire email, names and all. I don't know who it is, but I don't want to do any business with them, ever.
