It was very clear that more were being run off with the original plates, and one dealer in my area could get them easily if you had the bucks. Taft may actually believe his story, but it simply doesn't jive with what was actually going on in the early '90's. PSA stopped grading them shortly after that, and the matters stated above appear to have been the reason why.

Well it certainly appears BGS knows how to grade them. A small fraction of those 14,000 examples have been slabbed by BGS.
