Is there another spin on this that people should know? If someone knows of a rebuttal video, post the link. I don't usually watch this garbage, because I don't have time, but I'd take a few minutes to see a rebuttal.
Here’s Geoff Wilson’s rebuttal:

And here’s a counter rebuttal ( by a lawyer and marketing person) to Wilson’s rebuttal:

The fact people like Geoff Wilson are considered “Prominent hobby figures” annoys me almost as much as PPP loans being misused.

the last few years "created" a new hobby within the hobby...the hobby of investing in the hobby...using real time data, creating "indexes" of cards just like financial investment vehicles. This is what the newer "investor" has clamored for...and Wilson has given it to them.

The index is nothing new. Joe Orlando had an index based on the top 100 cards many years ago, the SMR 100 or something like that. I think Brent has had them for some time too.

I feel like most collectors are numb to this sort of "news".

I have no idea who most of these people dominating the modern hobby news are. I feel like Mr. Jones in the Dylan song.

Mr. Jones will never know what's going on, and at the moment neither do I.
