Default PSA vs. US Government

Who has more unchecked power? The US government or PSA Grading Services?!?!

Why does the hobby/public accept the grading of their property with no evidence of the evaluation that the grade is based on?

Same reason why the US population accepts fiat currency as it's primary mechanism for facilitating trade.

Trust and blind faith.

I put my trust and faith in these gold-wrapped chocolate delights:

Frankly I don't trust the government or fiat currency. I only deal in Prizm Base PSA 10s

Exactly right,this isn't a hobby anymore to a large amount of people,Im old enough (im 58) to remember when it was just a hobby,no price guides,just kids and some adults trading.about the only money involved was buying packs at stores.Sucks in some ways,great in other ways.everything evolves i guess.

F bringing politics into the hobby.


That's my story & I'm sticking to it. And I imagine many feel the same way. Sportscards are the ONE thing that brings people together where everyone from every walk of life comes together to enjoy this hobby.

Do you understand how sacred that is? How valuable that is? In this day & age? This hobby is for everyone & it's something I hold close & dear to me. There's too much division these days all because of "politics". The hobby is the antithesis of that. Respect it.

ill pick politics and government over this shiit hobby (btw its not a hobby its scam the suckers and noobs out of money) with insane prices and scam grading

psa wants our money and gives us shiit grades by giving us unwarranted grades ....its a complete scam to control pop report for the owners friends.

btw the whole hobby is shady as shiit

reason why we have laws and regulations in this country to stop abusive companies /shady people and just wait for fanatics lmfao
