Yeah, really hard-hitting questions. I think it was one of those articles that says "Paid Advertisement" in small type at the top.

I think one of the interesting things he said in the article was this:

SCD: How many cards have you treated in your life?
Towle: Without exaggerating, probably 15,000-18,000 cards.

In 2008 when this article was written, he had been doing this for 15 years. It's now 11 years later so we can probably add at least 12,000 cards or so to that total. So one card doctor has done at least 27,000 cards, possibly many more. That's a lot of altered cards by one guy.

And his work is more time-consuming than micro-trimming

I’m guessing you’ve never asked a judge to so order a subpoena. Just a hunch.

He likely doesn't have the authority to do so...

Microtrimmers? Is that something new?

Basically, they're shaving off 1/64ths of an inch off a card to reduce corner and edge wear. Sometimes they cut off quite a bit more to make a card more centered to enable it to get a higher grade.

Like nose hair trimmers I think

No worries, CU's CEO and CFO say none of this is material, and judging by the stock price they must be right!
