Besides, if you want to talk about an organisation with its own agenda in service of making money...PSA is the effing worst.

You are right about PSA as an independent company and only show the breakdown on what they grade. I disagree with PSA being the worst; as IMHO they saved baseball card collecting and made it fun again.
I'm home, plague and riots are all around, so though I am not 'playing' or 'spending money' I am still going to get my money's worth. I had some more major surgery a couple weeks ago, so though moody, I'll be around looking at what interests me.
I'm not a bad guy no matter how hard the push is by some to make the community believe so.
I like PSA. I like conversation also and I like bringing up theories that others may not agree with (but some may). I also like helping the underdog as is what happened when the community attacked the OP.

I wanted to add, since baseball cards were brought up... Upper Deck seeded the packs in 1989 with ken Griffey Jr. rookie cards, I think PSA and Beckett have graded over 100,000 of these cards. When the card was new all Upper Deck would say is, 'no no, everything is legit'. It comes to show they lied. That is why in PL (P400) and everyone has a legend Maddux, but that card is only on teams which pay at a high level (example, I have not seen a legend Maddux on a first year Stone League player) then something is up
