The irony is that if I wanted to buy an autograph that I was certain was authentic, the LAST thing I would do would be to rely on a TPA. There are a lot of good options, but TPA's aren't even on the list.

Agreed. And perhaps the most frustrating aspect of it is how many collectors and buyers are simply unaware and are having the wool pulled over their eyes.
I've often wondered how much the fact that PSA is a publicly traded company effects their decisions in regards to them being upfront, honest and forthcoming in their admission (well really their lack thereof) of problems, issues and mistakes. What would happen if the shareholders were to become as aware of the inherent problems with PSA as many of us here are?
