Let's Be Frank, Actually My Name Is Peter...

I'm starting to hope for a meltdown of confidence, a massive Ebay failure, and the collapse of one or two grading companies. Maybe collectors will be forced to meet at more frequent shows...

Look, the only reason this crappy topic keeps coming up is because collectors who can afford to keep paying up for the rare, high-end stuff are becoming increasingly paranoid about the integrity of their product. As long as the prices stay high, the incentive to forge product is there, and the paranoia is justified. Learn your product better than anyone, stick with your tight trusted circles, and then stop worrying so much. The doomsday what-ifs have become absolutely intolerable. You people are going to kill yourselves with worry at this rate.

Peter, if the market falls, the people who care about the value will sell out and walk away...that's really all there is to it
