Is wheel (read “real”) alignment a necessary precursor to being “well centered”?
After all, linguistically there ain’t much difference between a car doctor and a card doctor.

Ha, that is indeed an awesome card. Yes, unique and ungraded may be the place to go for piece of mind and some kicks.
I also wonder if the card grading shenanigans won't push up the memorabilia and photo part of the hobby. (Not that I am naive enough to imagine that's without fraud.) Last edited by Snapolit1; 08-14-2019 at 08:15 AM.

I always, since I rejoined the hobby back in 2016, wanted to have a 8,9 or 10 1952 Topps card just to have one but since this scandal broke that desire is all but gone.
Luckily for me, I guess, I was limited to funds and focused, mainly, on raw cards. 90-95 percent of my cards in my FlickR and Net54 links below are raw and I will most likely keep them that way and will most likely continue purchasing raw cards going forward.

I too am done. Been collecting raw since this mess was discovered and have been having more fun than I've had the past 20 years collecting graded.
The scandal has me honestly feeling like a fool for trusting PSA for as long as I did. I thought I was buying cards that were put under strict grading standards and accepted extremely long turnaround times because of that. I paid their grading prices not just because I thought my cards were put under these standards but ALL OTHERS were as well. I feel cheated (no pun intended Joe) and defrauded. Never, ever again.
