Not sure its gambling as much as giving value away. If you have a great card sell it at a premium, why give Brentsy a portion of your sale? Look at Greg Morris for an example, he is selling raw cards for, in many cases, more than what a psa + mba sticker would yield.
This hobby is so ridiculous , absolutely stacked with charlatans. The best cards have always gotten the best prices.
Now, if you have a card that isn’t the best, maybe trimmed or altered, a service like Brent and Mike offers is perfect. This is their wheelhouse.

dont worry, it will come crashing down. things always do eventually when they are owned/operated by grifters. it may not be next week or next month, but both mike and brent have a track record and we know their character. that will always shine through.
both mike and brent have built businesses that crashed and burned. it WILL happen with MBA and the stickers. just a matter of time.

holy cow, this is the best and most appropriate comment that ever could have been written about this topic!!!
and truthfully, i believe that some of them actually know they have been fooled, but they are in so deep monetarily that they have to suspend disbelief in order to keep the cognitive dissonance from driving them crazy
LOL all you want, but I think that deep down you know MBA and the sticker thing will come crashing down. bad actors always regress to the mean.
The MBA slabs most certainly will maontain a foul stink after they are are out of biz just as it is with GAI, but as for the stickers simply remove them or not

At blowout and net54 there is more legit debate. Here we have 4-5 members, some of who have fiscal based interest, who swarm and shout dissenters down

High stakes gambling y'all. No different than rolling dice or betting on ponies.
