He paid for a service after all.....

Yeah, that's the unfortunate thing with grading. Catching someone on a good/bad day can either mean you make out well or get a raw deal.

My guess is that it all balances out or comes close to it. Think about the original submitters that get a better-than-expected grade. Everyone has these sorts of stories, but I used to have a PSA 3 Moe Berg 1933 Goudey that I showed here on the board a year or so ago. That thing looked much closer to a 1.5 or a 2. Whoever initially got that grade (wasn't me) made out handsomely. Not even close, obviously, to Mantle Rookie handsomely, but you get my point.

I guess the moral of the story is that it's generally better to hang on to cards that look undergraded.
