Can i say something to all of you as fellow collectors . i have just read on the Jabbas Court vintage page that there has been underhand things happening in the hobby again and then it took a twist to another question about grading and the experts and there independence and expertise of there grading services , i think this is a very important thigh that has just come up here and i ask you to please take a read.

I do not have a boat in this race as i don't get stuff graded and i don't sell items so its just as a collector and someone thats been in the hobby for over 3 decades and being the person that whilst blew the Toy Toni issue and with these hats on i am talking to you. When i exposed Toy Toni lots of innocent collectors attacked the messenger as they had all invested a lot of time and money into the things they loved , and as such they did not want to listen and it was a really had time for me to stand my ground , i am a strong minded person and have a even stronger stance on whats right and what is wrong and as such i stood my ground and said it as it was , in time the truth came out and the world saw what had really happened , luckily there was one or two people that stood back and listen to what i had been saying and saw that i have some interesting points and they got into this and saw what i was saying was infuse true , Jason Smith has to be commended for listening and in the end he stood by what i was saying and in the end took over explain the facts so everyone could understands the fraud that was happing in the hobby and help to bring it to the public , i am not saying there is an issue with the grading or not here , but as with my first post there is some issues that have been uncovered and i feel maybe we need to all take a step back and start to look at the facts and also get some of the key people in the hobby that get things graded that care about the condition to look into this issue ? i think he two issues need to be split up , "shill bidding"is not nice and underhand and should not be respected or allowed , the issues with the independence and the experts that undertake grading is another issue , both are very important in our hobby and i think we shovel all come together to look into this for the sake of all collectors and the hobby in general , let me know what you all think , one last thing the graders do have responablaty to be independent as what they say make a difference financially , i remember how quiet all the grading companies because when they had been taking money for grading toy toni figures fro many years and then when they turned out to be infact now what they seemed i down think they had much to say , which did worry me at the time , but as i say i don't have a boat in this race as i don't sell but i am happy to help as part of a team if there are other members that want to look into this more as i feel there is some questions that need looking into . i love to here other peoples thoughts on this yours jason
