[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 3155751, member: 76863"]Since I posted in this thread already I might as well participate in this one. This. There's no point trying to help or educate people that learned everything there is to know about everything decades ago and are never wrong. The only reason to engage is to try and save others from falling for it just because they have a title which unfortunately does end up misleading a lot of people. Some are worse than others and unfortunately it can be like trying to find real information from Breen from some of them, at some point you just have to tune it all out because it takes more time to find what is right than what is ego defense. I 100% sympathize with the point [USER=15019]@Numismat[/USER] was making as it gets exhausting quickly dealing with someone who could never learn anything because they know it all no matter what. It is especially exhausting when it comes to grading or the market when they have been out of it for a decade or longer and think they're and expert on it and no matter how much evidence is presented you're still wrong or get called a koolaide drinker for using actual verifiable facts. I don't think it's a coincidence that the experts and a wealth of knowledge has converged onto the the CU forum, and yes I do know there are some trolls there too which are easy to spot.
