PSA says they are the worlds leading authenticator or whatever it is they say. Or the Best authentication service in the world or whatever.....Its called "marketing" and its up to the consumer of that product to determine if its not true or is true. If the business survives maybe that represents VALIDATION.
But there is a theory created by Darwin that says that in nature and origin of species, ESPECIALLY with regards to free enterprize that those that are not suited to their environment will not survive. TIME seperates fact from fiction. Naturally,
Despite anything we say or do. PSA has been in business for a good long while , ( I was there and I think its been about 12 years) If people want to spend their money there it is their CHOICE , Good or bad. They have every right to do it. My personal opinions OR ANYONE ELSES are invalid. The stronge survive , good eventually triumphs over evil.
So if collector "A" believes in that service and wants to spend his Bucks on it , I support him. And I support PSA , just as I support AAA, and AA and AARP and the NAACP or anything else you can place the letter "A" in ...because eventually ................TIME , not these posts will determine...fact from illusion. What a country !!!!

PLUS TWO! So true,
Hopefully Travis will get to see them fold in his lifetime.

I almost got my wish when GM went BK and would have folded if not for a GOVT bailout

In 1982 (That's a 30 year grudge!) Before the lemon law, I had a Pontirock Trans Am that blew up after 20,000 miles. It had a wire that kept poking me in my fat ass, ripping through the seat and my pants (3 times). An electric antenna that wouldn't stop going down (3 times). T-Tops that leaked (more than 10 times)...and that's just the cliff notes version.
I hadn't touched a GM product since then. I finally broke down a few months ago when I jumped back in with a 2007 Corvette, just for a new hobby. I saved some of the money for the car, that I usually would spend on Autographs after I just got sick up and fed with all the stinking Forgery Scams..... Especially sick of FDE's that don't know shit and for the most part are scammers themselves with ZERO integrity. Also sick of the "legitimate" Authenticators that are more error prone than Steve Sax.
PSA needs a good Romneying
