Maybe they're both frauds

So you think that bloody sock was a scam?

If you're willing to pay more money for a number on a flip inside a piece of crap plastic then are you not driving the efforts of those trying to take advantage of it? Are you really a baseball card collector if it's the slip you're concerned with?

I believe there was much less abundant fraud when I bought cards from *bay back in the days prior to rampant grading. Somewhat unrelated - I miss the days of getting "Four Base Hits" in the mail and placing an order hoping that mine arrived first and a card would arrive in a small brown box. That was exciting.

While I don't totally agree with this statement, I do agree that TPG have given scammers a new avenue that wasn't there before. TPG has cut down on a lot of doctoring, but has opened up new worlds of fraud in other ways.....and it all nets out zero (except, of course, for that $17/card they now charge).
