Here’s some examples of some connections one might be able to make…
Cognitive dissonance: (x) grading company is arguably the biggest player in the grading game vs nearly a year wait (LarryDavidunsure.gif)
Stockholm Syndrome: these service levels are super okay from (x) grading company and I’m so happy with waiting (x long ass inexcusable time) at least they’re communicative!! ![]()
Sunk Cost Fallacy: all my other cards are graded by (x) company, therefore this fact should impact my future grading decisions although I may be suffering from cognitive dissonance (see above)
Stanford Prison Study: prominent Poketubers outright saying to not grade with CGC or others, who gave them this authority to say such a thing? Unbelievable (one might say)
Milgram Shock Experiment: “Please submit cards to (x) grading company”… “The community requires you to continue to submit cards to (x) grading company” (see Stanford Prison Study example)
Cult Like Behavior: Bro wtf are those CGC cases lmaoooooo get out of here with that! *checks online submission to (x) grading company to see it hasn’t been entered in their system in 4 months*. Allll gooooood! At least I don’t have to look at those UGLY BLUE CASES AMIRITE!
