    never understood the love for Stan Lee

     

    Hero worship is a real thing and god forbid anyone tries to paint someone's hero in a light that's anything other than unquestionably flattering. People need to look at all the sides and not just the ones they want to look at and when it comes to Stan, there is most definitely another side. After all, he was a flawed human being just like the rest of us.

    I don't understand why it's so difficult to understand that not everyone has an eye for this sort of thing. 

    What is obvious to you may not be obvious to everyone. 

    In much the same way that an 'obvious' CGC Quality Control error can slip under the radar, you can miss a lot unless you're attentive and looking for it. 

    The entire point of the slab is TRUST in the slab. 

    Up until this incident, most dealers didn't look for fraudulent slabs. 

     

    Oh please. You've been in the game long enough to know this is nonsense. Any collector dropping a significant amount of cash on any collectible damn well better educate themselves, or have someone close at hand who can assist with this kind of stuff. Not "having an eye for it" is nothing more than an excuse and an invitation to getting ripped off.

    Frankly, I'm shocked that you would try to rationalize not educating yourself.
