Without the old timers there simply woulnt be a hobby as we know it today ...they were the pioneers and deserve much credit, Probably more than they are given.

But with the internet things have changed...some have adapted and some have not.

The speed at which information flows today its incredible...back in the day even if you went to all the shows and traded with as many people as you could ...it would still take you years to see all the cards that are now listed on ebay in a month.

With sites like this one as well as more specialized sites you get to see and read about almost any card you wish.

caramel cards, tabacco cards, cuban issues, pre war...you name it, there is a website devoted to it.

some old timers have become progressive and embraced the grading services, ebay and the new grading standars of the hobby...some have not, its easy to pick apart the grading services and speak of their greed and errors. too easy.

its hard to change...its hard to see your expertise being matched by someone who has been in the hobby only a few years, its hard to see a tight little group of collectors be diluted with tons of new collectors, speculators and investors.

3rd party grading has as many evils as it has goods...
