We all tend to forget that JSA and PSA and any other 3 letter initial company you use for grading whether for cards or autographs are rendering ONLY an opinion . They are not infallible nor are they the gods that they and some people make them out to be...they are human and make mistakes too whether on a quick opinion, mail in or on site evaluation. The problem is there is little or no recourse against them and they do not tell you who evaluated the item or tell you why it was graded as it was. They hide behind their veil of power and secrecy. As long as collectors, both the uneducated and experienced , require their blessing on a purchase or prior to a purchase this will continue and probably get worse. As long as the volume of material continues to flow in at the record pace it does for these companies there is no motivation for them to change their way of doing business on any front.
