Indeed, but perhaps not the admissible evidence. Not always the same thing, for better or worse.

let's just all admit that the hobby is clearly a "BILLION DOLLAR FRAUD" and move on Enjoy the teeth kicking and reaming or don't collect. I guess I just choose to enjoy it, cause I'm crazy like that.

You have to figure that one of these days this house of cards is going to come crashing down.

This used to be a fun hobby when people bought cards for the enjoyment of it rather than the investment potential.

What is really sad is that there is evidence of card tampering and the investors just turn a blind eye because in the back of their minds they know/understand what will happen to their investments when/if the industry comes crashing down.

As I always comment - I don't care if this stuff comes tumbling down in value because then it becomes a hobby again and the investors will hopefully find something else to spend their time screwing up.

I still can't imagine that in a court of law that the TPGs will be the ultimate authority when the whole case would be about their competence in determining if a card is altered (or not).

Perhaps the grading companies have some weasel wording that will exonerate them from liability, for example perhaps somewhere it's written in the terms of service that the opinion rendered is just that a subjective opinion. In that case, it is what it is and they'll continue to turn a blind eye to this.

SGC will still be standing no matter what. It's the others that have to worry.

Anyone that has been around long enough sees and knows what I'm talking about.

From day 1 with the McNall/Gretzky Wagner. They just laugh and continue to cash in.

So bad.

Nuff said.
