I was reading through the threads myself a week or so ago, and yea, it's pretty crazy.
They called out a certain guy who appears to buy raw cards that are slightly damaged and then trims them, sends them in, and still gets 10's. They did show some evidence, but I didn't dive into it enough to see how credible it was.
They also called out a gentlemen who used to work for one of the grading companies that kept receiving 10's from his former employee.
How do I feel about everything? I am sure there is some shady stuff going on. I just wonder how long until the market just completely crashes on graded cards. If cards are altered, and are not being labeled as such and people are paying a premium, that's a problem.
I'll be interested to see how this plays out. I only have 1 graded card and I thought I would keep it forever, but honestly, it has me thinking about dumping it now and just picking up a raw copy to have in my collection.
*Sigh*
