New BODA thread; PWCC selling previously outed cards now "reviewed by PSA"

Exactly why I don't have even one graded card in my collection and have never sent a card to be graded, ever. These guys have been doing this since the 90's. Nothing new and people still send their cards to them. It's all about the Benjamins for many people. I enjoy cards for what they are not what they are worth and it makes the hobby so much more enjoyable. Nuff said.

Best post in the thread.

It took me a long long time to figure that out but I enjoy it sooooo much more now.

Grading Serves One Purpose for me and One Purpose Only....It allows me to sell certain cards at a much higher price then if I kept them raw to sell.

Love it, Hate it.......Either Way I Accept it.

but will absolutely take in any type of Uncle Jimmy Collection or high profile collection and move it right to the front of the line for grading .........

They get moved to the front of the line because they pay more, it's not a conspiracy. I just last week had a 1951 Bowman Mantle do the round trip in a week.

I don't love it, I do hate it, and I do not and will not accept it. I have cards I like, not what someone else likes. I have no graded cards. All the graded cards I have obtained (T206, Goudey, Play Ball, Delong, Bowman, Topps) I have cracked. I guaran-dang-tee I could sell them raw for BIG money if I so desired. I have a nice big house with a pool in Florida, 2 nice cars, and a Navy officer pension for the rest of my life. I am not into the card hobby to make money off of them. I just like the cards. So go ahead and analyze your PSA, SGC or OCD graded cards like stockbrokers. Nope, not fun and not my cup of tea. If the hobby was like this when I was a kid, I would have found another hobby

Don't forget the "pop" and PSA registry. It's very fun if you're an anal eddie. I just like the cards too and accept that it's a billion dollar fraud and do my best to protect myself...somewhat. Do I wish PSA/PWCC et all would pay a price and go to jail at the risk of my collections value? Of course I do. Cheating the system for $$$ pisses me off. I've made mine with integrity as you did. We have earned the right to enjoy it any way we want. I would enjoy Brent bent over taking a plunger, running his scam on EBAY/PSA. Using the private bidding now, LOL. He is very trust worthy. Couldn't be shill bidding too???

This how I collect as well. I do read all the posts on the issues with the TPGs. However, as long as people continue to pay for their services, they have no motivation to change. At times, it seems like the slab and flip are more important than the card.
