So what if he did collect the grade. The population reports reads that the buyer of that card owns one of four of that particular PSA 10 graded card. That's not an illusion, that's real. If that's what he paid for, so what. What business is it of yours? How does that purchase affect your life, Travis? Explain that to everyone here.

And how does some guy buying something on eBay that you don't like effect your life? Explain that to everyone here.

Hypocrite.

Because I care about the hobby and I do something about it when it comes to forgeries. I don't sit on the sidelines watching other people do the dirty work.

No videos in nine months, Chris? What happened? Camcorder break? (Or did someone make you an offer you couldn't refuse?)

Two and half years of videos (almost 200) was enough. There was no need to do any more of them.

Chris! You replied immediately after saying you wouldn't! Does the left half of your brain have any idea what the right half is doing?

It doesnt affect my life, i just think its crazy to overpay for a bump in condition that only a microscope can detect, if there is a bump in condition at all.

In my opinion, uber "high grade" 10s are a theoretical grade and can't be consistantly replicated. A 10 could be 9.9 on another day and vice versa. It applies to cards, comics and coins.

That said, if someone wants to spend their money that way, that's their right. I'd prefer to spend my collecting dollars on 25 "near perfect" somethings than one imaginary perfect exemplar.
