PSA is not in business to "help the collector." PSA is in business to make money. And, by its very nature PSA's business will dry up (how many times can you resubmit the same card?), unless it comes up with new items to slab.
Autographs, checks (checks, fer chrissakes--do you really need PSA to tell you a check is genuine?), and now photos.

Right on, David! I have to totally agree with you on this one. IMHO this slabbing thing is getting way out of hand. PSA authenticating checks, now photos- yikes! Personally if I find an item that I particularly like that has been entombed, I crack the SOB open so I don't have to look at the eyesore in my collection.
