My grievance is that this guy gets on almost every thread on the main page and says something negative or argumentative. 32k posts

Or maybe ML even knew the cards had been recovered before they could say so publicly, for all we know. Hardly an annual highlight IMO. Not in a hobby where countless altered cards are being bought and sold for huge sums every single day, and new ones being made I should add.

For me, personally, it is what shipping fees have become. Especially purchasing from U.S. sellers and the use of the global shipping program.
I've cried about these fees before but they are seriously getting out of hand. $35-$50 dollars+, U.S., to ship one card that can cost a 1/3 of the shipping fee.

It's rare now, unless it is from a CDN seller, to find shipping less than $25-$30 dollars, which, of course, has really deterred me from looking at cards from many U.S. sellers.

But, all that aside, Merry Christmas everyone.

Tired of all the people that overhype everything in the (what's left of it) hobby. Many times it just doesn't seem like much of a hobby anymore.

When's somebody going to bring up PSA's wonderful customer service? Or grading price structure? Or lack of true accountability for grading undersized cards with razor sharp corners and calling them mint.

As they say - every thread should have a picture of a card:
