Grading reformer here. I am not a grading abolitionist, although I understand where a lot of those guys are coming from. I will say that my trust in the abilities of the TPGs has been greatly shaken, and unless action to combat this problem is publicly announced in the near future, I will move towards the view that PSA (not grading in general) has lost all credibility.

Also, someone mentioned that they only collect raw cards, so the grading controversy does not affect them. I'm willing to bet that a substantial number of the raw cards sold by both PWCC and Probstein are ones that TPGs actually rejected due to alteration that was caught. So yes, this issue affects the entire hobby, aside from those who collect 1980s Topps commons.
