t-206collector...most of what you said. I was just trying to reflect what I understand the current state of affairs to be, based upon my reading of the board and upon MW's usual reactions to my comments and the support he gets from the other members of the board.
The question for me has always been what's the best way to protect my collection for the future, both in terms of value and quality. I have seen enough in recent PSA auctions to raise considerable concern about some of the 6's and higher. I also believe that as long as the buying public believes whatever PSA tells them then it doesn't matter as much what the card looks like, from a seller's standpoint as opposed to a collector's standpoint. The question is whether the public will ever wake up to the problems with PSA and reject it as a medium for holding vintage cards. If so, then you'll see a mass transition to SGC and/or others. If PSA gets its act together and never loses market share then PSA will always get more for its cards than SGC.
