the thrill of the hunt?.....then what...

It is obvious that no one is going to go the least bit out on a limb and touch the subject of PSA and SGC grading restored cards...the little guys don't want to rattle any cages, and since most of the big collectors on this board (or lurking nearby) own plenty of slabbed PSA and/or SGC cards, hinting that a fair percentage of ther really valuable ones might be restored, is just something they don't want to hear about or encourage discussion about.

I have gotten a few emails, but all pertaining to the pluses and minuses of slabbing cards, none actually touching the subject of whether or not those cards slabbed are unaltered.

My conclusion: no one likes altered cards, but everyone would prefer to just agree that if it's in a PSA or SGC holder it must be okay. "Cleaning up the hobby" is just lip service.

Next time you guys jump PRO or gripe about the weaknesses of a new company like GradeTech, think about what you're ignoring in your own collection.
