Here's another example - anyone remember the post from last year I think - a Gretzky rookie in a PSA 8 case had a back corner that was flipped up, obvious layering - 100%. Should have been like a 5 or a 6 on that card at the most. It was pretty on the front, even with the messed-up corner on the back. Anyhow, long post here on Net54 - the OP sent it back and what did PSA do? Took the card out of the slab, flipped the corner back down much like I would have done at age 11 with a random card I was trying to put into a toploader. Then put it back into a new slab, put the PSA 8 flip back on, and sent it back to OP saying "no 'permanent' damage" or some other nonsense BS.

Whaaaa....? A card with a badly layered corner - no matter how pretty or how difficult that corner is to notice - is not a PSA 8!

Just saying it's very easy to break your own rules when there is incentive, and probably doubly-so in a company where the very first card they ever graded was fraudulent.
