This might be the best video of SCR that I've watched -- a total take-down of Geoff Wilson's claims of defamation. There's no speculation -- just facts and research. Some BO baseball threads get mentioned at the beginning.

^ This was my honest reaction. ^
I watched the first 8-10 minutes and skipped around a bit. I couldn’t figure what I was supposed to care about. SCI did some shady stuff during the boom, and people shouldn’t make purchases based on “advice” from influencers. Not exactly breaking news. SCR isn’t scared of being sued. Cool. |

SCI does shady crap, SCR calls them out, SCI threatens to sue, SCR says “bring it on! My lawyers will drain your account!”, so on and so forth... Cool. But I’m not going to stress too much about it. I can’t say I’ve ever listed to SCI or any other influencer, and those who do, maaaaybe have what’s coming to them (at least as far as bad investments go). I have no interest in their daily battles. |

SCR has been around for years and back up what they say with examples. Geoff Wilson is just a newb who throws his (and apparently taxpayer) money around and gives bad advice.
Would an innocent man take this much offense to the claims made by SCR?

I thought it was interesting that BYB pulled yet another MASSIVE card.

Do I still invest in Will Grier?
Has Frenzy bought all of his cards up?

I’m late to the party on SCR. What’s the deal with all the references to “ya dip”?
Love their content though! |

SCR is tabloid trash. The fact that people think they get a pass just because their shtick is to "expose" what they believe is corruption is what's actually wrong with the hobby. I honestly believe it's just as harmful as the actual corruption.
Competent credible news reporting on corruption is a good thing. Creating drama for your own benefit while claiming you're doing the hobby a favor is hypocrisy. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk |

https://youtu.be/IwoEKg2_64k It's become a running joke in SCR videos and a symbol for cynicism and corruption in the hobby. |

Lol, if credible reporters cared at all about the hobby this would’ve been reported on years ago, specifically the gambling mentality, trimming scandals, grading drama, any # of daily scams, etc. it’s just too hard for credible news services to care because the general public won’t care, at least not until arrests are being made and the fbi lays out how it happened in terms the general public can understand (i.e. ‘operation bullpen’). The fact that hordes of BO cronies jump on others trying to point out corruption and scams (i.e. defending obvious PSA problems, trivializing trimming issues, defending Topps for obvious false advertising, etc) points out that the good ole boy system is alive and well and you’re part of it.
