<p>[QUOTE=&quot;baseball21, post: 2805036, member: 76863&quot;]Anything that completely overturned the current grading system would be the death of the hobby.&nbsp; Too much value would be lost which would chase a large portion of collectors away, and another large group would leave for having to learn to grade all over again.&nbsp; Pretty much the only collectors left at that point would be people collecting pocket change for the love of it, but no matter how much someone loves a hobby if you take a huge hit in value because the entire system was turned on it&#039;s head or risk taking a huge hit that love can quickly turn to resentment.&nbsp; The current system is here for the long haul.&nbsp; It can be tweeked and improved, but not completely dismantled</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Breen was prolific yes in terms of volume of material he put out and that&#039;s about all he was good for in my opinion. He was and is known to have made things up or say anything when he needed money.&nbsp; If his work couldn&#039;t be challenged I would agree, but when you have to double check his work to make sure it was actually accurate it holds no value as a reference. In the end we know that his work was a reflection of him as a person, complete lack or morals and integrity.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sheldon was what he was but his system is here to stay and that&#039;s fine.&nbsp; Breen is completely different story though.&nbsp; Researchers have to be trustworthy and be trying to find the truth, not just saying things to fill books to try and make money.&nbsp; I won&#039;t bother to ever touch or read anything Breen did, it&#039;s to much work to have to make sure it wasn&#039;t made up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
