Kudos to you PSA!!!!

First off, I can't say enough how great (and a little surprising) it was to see a comforting post by the President of a large company on this message board. I think some of you really took that for granted, that doesn't happen a whole lot. Thank you for that Joe!!!

I would just like to say that I'm not afraid of change and I for one welcome and look forward to the new half grade system. It is impossible to please everyone all of the time. You see people complaining on these boards about everything from turnaround times on specials (a special can't be "special" in every way people), to conservative grades (you do realize that these are HUMANS doing the grading right?), to membership prices, etc., etc. It's sort of funny that those same people are still on here everyday despite all of the "heart ache" they endure from the same company that they complain so much about.

There is so much in the world that people complain about these days. It makes me sick that our society actual enjoys watching people on "reality" TV argue for 1/2 hour at a time. If you can't keep this aspect out of a hobby as fun as sports card collecting, then maybe this isn't the hobby for you.

I write this knowing that I will still enjoy collecting cards, having my cards graded (my choice is still PSA), and discussing our great hobby with others on these boards.

To those who will remain: Let's look forward to a great year with new and exciting changes to come!!!
To those who will leave: It's your choice, and good luck to you also. Try not to let changes within our hobby change your love of this hobby.

Thanks, Brad.
