What a clown. Sloan and Orlando? Are you joking?
They are on the NASDAQ !! Whats wrong with you?

The whole Wizard of Oz cast is fine but leave PSA out
of it they simply assess the card given to them they
can not know what it looked like yesterday !!

Like Brent, Mosher and whoever else could even make it
worthwhile$$ for PSA to be in on the scheme? PSA
could get ALL of Mosher's profits and it would be a
drop in the bucket for them?
Why dont Casinos use loaded dice or a stacked deck?
Because they dont need to the game is already
fixed you silly gooses!

Might also be a good idea to inform some of the customers that are milling around there about what is happening in our hobby.

Exactly what I was thinking. We can't talk about the scandal, but I can tell you we use only the finest shag carpets with our displays. That's helpful.

Do you think he has a job when he gets back to work on Monday morning?

I can only assume he received a very stern and terse speaking to on Thursday night. I wonder if he is even still at the show or was he given tickets tot he Cubs game and wont be seen until its time to tear down the booth.

I'm assuming this policy of not being recorded is on advice of counsel as, prior to Jeff's involvement, they ran their mouths quite a bit.

People are a lot different in person than they are on a message board.

That is a big part of it. I complain about the scum in the hobby all the time but am the nicest person you ever want to meet in person. I will still complain about it but i argue with no one.

Then the first person to start any open complaining will be escorted out of the building.

Then the elephant in the room. Almost every dealer there and every dealer that sells PSA slabs wants it to go away as fast as possible.

Visible security can certainly deter people.
