How Would You Change The Hobby

Changes to the hobby:

1. Bring back the local card shows.

2. Eliminate all the artificially scarce BRAND NEW crap that gets produced every year.

3. Outlaw cards with pieces of uniforms, cut autographs, bats, etc.


Purely theoretical changes:

1. Have some sort of holder technology so that all the grading companies know when a card has been taken out of their holder, and force them to then get the #/graded of a particular card to be accurate.

2. Eliminate favoritism in grading cards....a card is a card irregardless of whether the person sending it in sends in 5000 cards a year or 5 cards a year.

3. Eliminate reprints from EBAY. I hardly ever go through the pre-1930 category anymore as its just a waste of time.

4. Law requiring all reprints to say "reprint" somewhere on the card that is readable to the human eye.

5. Return to the day when shipping and handling charges were to cover the costs associated with shipping - not a seperate profit center of its own.
