I have to agree with those statements, Mr. Rudd. I find quite often, and as recently as this week, I get as much enjoyment from a $20. purchase as one for many times that amount.

And when faced with the "necessity" for a larger dollar purchase, one avenue available which eliminates the necessity for a trip to the dark with eerie lights is to purchase the card in a holder from a reputable company.

Because although we have heard stories of those holder companies mislabeling cards and assigning a grade which the consensus says is too high or too low; I do not recall any slabber of repute stating a fake to be a genuine original card. Although they have clouded the issue with questionable terminology, such as "questionable authenticity".
