"90% of this crap will be sold for resale. It will wind up in some Vegas store, mall shop, another online auction, ebay (until it gets pulled), etc. This end of the hobby is spreading like an oil spill. It seems there is no stopping it. It is…"

E.B.G. replied to Richard S. Simon's discussion How does PSA explain this?? in the group Authentication and Forgery Alert

"Good point Richard. Why hire someone to go into the field in hopes of getting multiple items signed? If its authentic it would hopefully pass PSA anyway. Why have the added expense?"
