Anyone have any autographs graded since the new regime has taken over at PSA

[Republicaninmass]

Grades just popped and it is absolutely unbearable. My failure rate is up 500% percent.

Single owner 50's collection with dates autos were acquired, submitted in numerical order

- toughest ones pass
- "4 in a row" fail (n4, n4, n9, n4)


1 Card passes quick opinion, now fails

1 Card purchased from one of the new graders that's clearly good...fails

2 Cards pass authentication, but deem too trimmed to holder (n9), resub.... fail


Looks like the new lower auto rate means the resub game

I heard the same thing. New faces but the same old routine . They were basically brought in as face dressing for the company to give a face of respectability and the appearance of change but in reality the company is still the same.

The company will always be the same.
Bottom line comes first and suck up to the auction houses will always be their guiding principles.

Recently I had a large lot with a JSA auction letter. I asked Spence if they photographed the whole lot to be able to tell which cards had actually been authenticated. He explained the didnt photograph the lot, and basically if I were to submit them, it would be on a card by card basis, starting at ground zero, with a "discount" if it was within 45 days of the auction letter.

Here is a thread that goes through my recent experience with PSA/DNA

May be time to give the old regime a try at the new house.
