Okay--here is an example.
I have a 48 Leaf Joe DiMaggio psa 4 that in my opinion is a psa 9 except that it has a very small surface crease in the picture of the card. I have been told by a leading national dealer that there is little question that Mastronet could take the crease out of the card and it his opinion that the card would grade a psa 9 and at worse an 8.
So if I gave this card to Mastronet and asked them to take out the wrinkle, regrade it, have a nice conversation with Reza, and put it in there latest auction do you really think Mastronet would disclose the history of this card.
I would add that I would consider it unethical to do what I described and what Doug Allen has already admitted to.
