88 and increasingly dismayed by the greed and fraud in the hobby.
TPA may have been a "sufficient" reason to eliminate the "wild west" of authentiction, but it was never a "necessary" reason. TPA is a "necessary" reason to establish an illusion of independent authentication where a very few individuals can control the pricing. But so was the "wild west," except that collectors could pick and choose among dealers who built their reputations on integrity, accurate grading and fair pricing, and those who did not. It would appear that the latter may still be among us.
