Is the Grading System Broken?

Posted By: Charlie Barokas

Is it really the "tip of the iceberg" when taking an affirmative opinion of the hobby/business is lonely and out of favor? I would argue that it feels more like the bottom of the iceberg!

Buying packs of baseball cards for a penny and 5 pennies is a boys/girls (for Joanne) game.

Navigating today's high-dollar sports collectibles market is a grown-up game.

Confusing the two might be part of the problem.

I do have a stock market background and if memory serves, bear markets rarely begin with a lot of negativity. Bear markets are usually born out of Pollyannaish behavior. It would seem we are a far cry from over-optimism in this hobby/business.
