What I heard is that the next week will be crucial. It all depends on the amount of new cases. I am praying that it is minimal. For both Health reasons and Commerce. I need my new career back.
We shall see. Confirmed cases are spiking (thanks to testing) and deaths are also mounting (thanks to overwhelmed medical facilities). I know that I will be home with the family all next week (at least) doing my part. I may not get Covid-19 but I may lose my mind Oh, and to keep it on topic...STILL glad that PCGS is closed. Not for the employees that are no longer working. But for the fact that they, along with all TPGs, are generally not a net positive to the hobby, IMO.
They are the biggest net positive the collector has had happen for them in the hobby and the biggest growers of the hobby. They are also the biggest reason the online market has developed, the biggest source of information for collectors about what to expect out in the market for what they are looking for and the list goes You couldn't be more off base calling them a harm on the hobby
