Like it or not, Jake was 100% right and most here were wrong.

I'm sure a lot of those "outed" PSA cards have been bought and sold many times over since, and as long as money is being made, nobody seems to care.

Although nothing has changed in the hobby with regard to buying and selling, I think many buyers may still be looking more closely at graded cards, especially PSA cards. I know I do. I do think PSA has adopted a more rigorous grading process to earn that public trust back again, but that's about it.

I saw a great deal of high priced SGC cards listed as being altered on the Blowout threads so the issue seems to be far from isolated to PSA. I am a nothing in the hobby but to those I spoke with about a year ago many of the guys mentioned on Blowout are still submitting to PSA so dunno that PSA has earned the trust back as much as their graded material sells for strong prices...still.

Possibly the change in ownership?

The New AI Grading Machine I think is going to be the game changer. I’m glad they’re using it.

You’re kidding right?

I admit I was wrong...I thought for sure somebody would pay a big price/do some jail time.

If that didn't derail the hobby I'm not sure anything can?
