Peter, your opinion carries great weight so I'm certain divestiture is occurring as we speak.

Jeff I am aware that no one gives a damn what I think. But I will say it anyway.

And in my opinion that no one gives a damn about, Dave should choose, does he want to own a grading company, or buy and sell cards. Not both.

PS: David Hall called me and asked if you could also pick out the color of his couch.
![]() Peter, honestly, I appreciate your position. And in a perfect world there would be no conflicts of interest in any part of our hobby. But it's just so unrealistic now as many people get into the business end of the hobby BECAUSE they are hobbyists. And we should concern ourselves first and foremost with reporting fraud and stopping fraud. We don't have the luxury just yet to even begin a rational discussion of conflicts of interest unless fraud is involved.

I don't know too many dealers in the position of being able to grade their own cards, or dealers who have a brother who owns a grading service. If that isn't a serious conflict of interest -- and I am not saying any wrongdoing took place, just pointing out the APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY which as you know is the legal standard for a conflict of interest -- I don't know what is. And of course I agree with you about fraud, but that doesn't mean other things should not be discussed as well -- IMHO.

Peter, I give a damn. And just remember: you're good enough, you're smart enough, and gosh darn it people like you!
