Those of us who posted about Evers found the irony in him whining about getting ripped off, when he got those cards by ripping-off someone else. We weren't comparing the legality of one over the other, but merely the morality, or immorality as it were. The fact that the seller didn't know he was getting robbed doesn't mean it wasn't so. Maestro robbed many people who were as oblivious as the seller at the garage sale...and many were just as ignorantly happy. Last edited by orly57; 08-22-2017 at 05:29 PM. |

I just finished watching the episode tonight, and, like others, also find it hard to believe PSA wasn't mentioned/talked about more?

My assumption on the lack of PSA coverage, is fear of legal repercussions. PSA offers an opinion of quality of a card, and opinions are only that, nothing more. As far as I know, they are not embroiled in any criminal case. No basis for the show to sling mud on them.

Hypothetical conversation in the office of people who get paid for their opinions : Person 1 - "this card looks trimmed" Person 2 - "well then we need another card to be the first card we grade" Person 3 - "Doesn't look trimmed to me, looks like an 8" Whether person 1 is lower than person 2 who is lower than person 3 in the pecking order in this hypothetical conversation is unknown to me.

I am not defending psa at all. But I doubt that any person or entity would make accusations or claims against an opinion based company unless it had PROOF of fraud. If they do so without proof, psa would own them. Mark

All they have to do is lie about what their own opinion is, which serves the triple purpose of saving their asses from legal issues, making a boatload of money / business for their company, and ruining the fun of the hobby. How great is it for the entire business of paying people for their opinions that the first paid opinion was a lie, we know it's a lie, and it's still ignored as a lie. Barry's comment about "close enough" is aiming in the right direction, but the more to the point - they lie because it makes them money. Doug |

I just saw the CNBC bonus features. This is another scam that I wasn't aware of. This raises several questions:
https://www.cnbc.com/video/2017/08/2...nce-faked.html Was the Plank graded by PSA or SGC? What ever happen to the card? Did the grading company buy it back or is it in another "high profile" collection in elite registry status?
