Wouldn't our concern fall under the "for the good of the collecting community" category or the "just watching out for my Acaeum buddies" philosophy that is continually spouted around here? Or is all of that just bullshit? Is it really just about the money? (Not to mention that it appears that members here who have not ordered any PPP products have been very careful to mention that fact in their posts, as I did when I broke my silence ... I'd consider most of the posts in this thread to be very up-front and honest. In fact, this thread has more value, overall, than at least 90 percent of the other threads here).

You're right, I don't know what the hell is going on, but then again neither do you.. or Mike... or Frank.. or Stephen, etc. What I do know is that a guy on the inside that I do know and trust(and have nary heard anyone even utter something that could be confused as a negative remark about) seems to think everything is going to be okay in the end here. Until I hear differently from him, I am withholding final judgement.
