Obviously with the inherent bias in the industry, you're not going to get maximum possible value for the card, but there is definitely inconsistency that exists with PSA and how they view certain aspects of cards - namely centering.
As far as I know, Andy never worked for PSA. I think he was working for a different TPG when he came to Beckett.
