I am one of the collectors who simply will look at all cards that come for sale.

Oh lord. As if you aren't allowed your opinions. You are the one "laughing" at people for standing up for what they believe in. Remember when I said "You do you". I do.

If you spend all your time trying to tip toe around every shady hobby character, you’re not going to enjoy the hobby.

It has never been a secret in the hobby in my opinion that cards have been worked on. To what degree is debatable and to what degree collectors are concerned is debatable.

I don't pretend to know what is right I just know that cards change hands outside of PWCC that could just as easily change hands through them.

There is no magic formula to completely avoid fraud in the sports collectibles hobby. It exists. You do the best you can.

Everyone is at different point in their collection. It is easier for someone with few graded cards to say the hell with the hobby. I have a lot so naturally I hope the hobby moves forward. I just believe that there is no perfect way to completely insulate yourself from issues and cutting off the main source of highly collected trading cards is a lot tougher than many think.
