Kens done a great job maximizing profits, props all day long, but if you think a corporations self interest is greater than normal folks with integrity that are bidding on sports cards in this hobby I would disagree.
Call me old fashioned, I'm good with that, I'd rather hang out with the dozens of old timers on this sub that live by the "my word is my bond" credo than prove we can pay for what we bid on. Lack of trust is your problem not mine.
Heritage, LOTG, REA, etc have never asked for any of that, I'm completely good sending them my unverified money, and they're completely good accepting it.
I'm just a small time collector but do occasionally spend more than 10k in an auction. I'll never deal with a corporation that makes it difficult for me to spend money with them, so no Goldin for me, Ken doesn't need my pittance of business anyway.
Peters false equivalence of mortgage loans makes no sense either, I'd be interested to see if Goldins stewardship of that highly sensitive information adheres to the strict laws we have in the mortgage industry.
So you can defend corporate bullshit all you want but your rooting for the wrong team imo.

Talk about missing the point.
I didn't defend it at all. I merely said it was stupid to take personal offense to it. I specifically said that while the company has the right to do it (because they do), you are more than within your rights to hate it and stop doing business with them.
