Possible solution!

It doesn't seem like I have to convince them. How confident can someone be with their high grade pre-war after something like this? Do these revelations spark increased or decreased interest in throwing big money at high grade cards? If you want to continue to pay for them, that's up to you and how you feel about people being skeptical toward your cards when it comes time to sell. I don't expect anyone to have reservations about mine. They're collector grade.

Investors don't generally like uneasiness in what they are investing in. That goes with anything. There is no doubt some investors are not happy and will get out. The collectors will stay and we will be fine. I do think the top registry cards will take a hit on value. How could they not? I don't feel as good today, about all of the PSA 8s, 9s and 10s in our vintage space, as I did before all of the "before" photos have come out. Now when I am looking at those mysteriously high grade cards I am thinking to myself, which of the borders are missing part of them?

"OK" …. So stamping an "A" on the back of an altered card is not the solution. I understand the many reasons why it won't work. However, I shutter when I read of some members suggesting that the "tainted" cards be confiscated and destroyed. That would be terrible!

Pictured is my recently purchased Virgil Trucks card. This card has perfect image registration, no red eyes, no red lips and no red mustache and that's why I bought it. The card is listed on a WhitmanIII submission and is guilty by association. PWCC has offered me a refund. I refused. It would be tough enjoying the card while it sits in an evidence box.

It will be interesting to see how this mess turns out,
