This is really really sad. Back when I was a kid in the late 60s, 70s, all of us bought cards, put em in bikes, traded, etc. Then, we put them in shoeboxes, w rubber bands, etc. It was a FUN HOBBY.
Sadly, this business has got so out of control. Fake autographs, not just the Coach's corner frauds, but a ton more. People switching labels on graded cards. That one is really bothersome, as the previous poster said, what good is TPG anymore?
I love looking at the great cards, and unreal autographs and memorabilia many of you guys buy/sell/trade and own. But, it just is so sad that you really can't totally enjoy your passion for collecting, if you have to worry about the authenticity of a holder, as well as a card, etc. Very sad indeed, and honestly, really puts a bad taste.
Rant over, just somehow, this stuff all bugged me at once today.
