Does PSA give favoritism to certain dealers/customers?
 

Does PSA give favoritism to certain dealers/customers or on very rare high grade cards?

Yes.

Vintage Card Curator on YouTube has done some great videos on this. The Rickey Henderson and Eddie Murray RC’s come to mind.

Does PSA...
 

Yep. The notion began with their first graded card.

All submitters are equal.


Some are more equal than others.

aka. my rule of Animal Farm grading

How do I get on the list to be more equal?

In a word, YES. How about the other TPG’s?

Some members here like to pretend their grader of choice does not participate in favoritism but it is clear it happens at Beckett and SGC too. PSA is far and away the most obvious offender and been doing it longer than anyone despite multiple changes at the management level. So far, and to their credit, CGC appears to have not tossed their hat in that ring.

Regarding Beckett, see the immortal "Eagle Eye" Joe thread on Blowout. That forum at its finest.
