PSA 10's - most are overrated

Posted By: steve

I just do not understand the whole PSA 10 theory. I have owned several/closely examined several - they should not be in "10" slabs !!!

I bought then sold a 10 that had obvious color fade.
I bought then sold a 10 that was medium out of register.
I bought then sold a 10 that had a micro corner touch.
Now I see a 10 on ebay that is a) tilt cut, b) big old print dot that DOES detract from overall appeal, c) has print smudge on top white border.

I only have kept two PSA 10's in my years of collecting - both 1980's issues.

PSA 10's are, for the most part, the biggest over value in our hobby. Ticks me off when PSA slabs a 10 when the card has no right to the grade.

Thoughts? steve.
