Shawn,

I'm sure PSA does a decent job but there are a few instances where things seemed a bit "off" with the grading.

Have you ever heard of the PSA graded "Hall" collection of T206 cards? I think that PSA really didn't do themselves any favors when they graded the "Hall" collection of T206s.

I wanted to know everyone's thoughts: Is the PSA founder David Hall in anyway being held accountable since he was the one who personally authenticated and graded it and to this day says it is not altered. How could there be a winable case against Bill Mastro for altering it if the authenticator who magnified it says it is fine????? I'm just curious. I really haven't ever paid attention to this situatuation too much. I guess knowing that I would never be able to afford one has always kept my interest down on THE WAGNER, but the after watching the video, I'm puzzled on a few things about the whole situation. Again, not taking sides or bashing anyone, just curious what other think?????

Really??

My guess, Tim, is that Bill admitted, under oath, that he did indeed alter the card, rendering David Hall's opinion as moot. I could be completely off base here, which is why I'm stating that as a guess.
