Why would they send one in and ask SGC to downgrade the grade when people are cracking and sending in cards hoping for a bump in grade? That's all i wanted to know. I dont think the guy with the 10 grade art shell rookie card, that was previously two grades lower is scrambling to send it in to psa or sgc or whoever graded it a ten because he thought it got a grade it didn't deserve? He is probably happier than a clam he can now charge 10 times or more as much for the card.

It's like people sending in an autograph they find out to be bad, and asking psa or jsa to 'correct' the authentication and decertify it, it doesnt happen, even when collectors are made aware the certified autograph is bad, they still keep it in the holder and try to sell it.

i just had an honest question with no ulterior motives, has anyone ever heard of anyone turning in a card for overgrading. maybe kendrick should start it off with the wagenr. but that's psa.
