I agree 100%. That is why Jim Stinson and Richard Simon have continued to thrive and survive in this business that is seeing individual dealers who stand by their opinions go the way of the dinosaurs.
PSA and to some extent JSA and SGC and Beckett are companies that have to rely on volume to generate the profits needed to stay in business regardless of how many mistakes they make. In fact I would bet money that those companies have a built-in error/tolerances for certing bad autos as genuine. The individual dealer must be correct 100% of the time, they can't afford to "cut corners" in any small way at any time ....the TPAs don't have to be correct 100% of the time nor do I believe they expect to be.
