This is exactly the reason I've cut back on buying a lot of Standard of California and Red Crown. It's made me question some of the beautiful mint collections after getting used to how a sign ages over time. These guys prey on those collectors outside the loop or without these resources available, and if you love minty rare signs they got ya. Keeping making them known, and eventually it'll cost them more to make than what it's worth. It's sad but we're losing a lot of the older guys that hoarded it, hid it, and could spot the good stuff a mile away, and the next generation is gonna be all over Google. Knowledge is power here
