I see a paradigm shift in the making. PSA sitting on their hands won't solve the problem and may exacerbate the problem if collectors and the hobby see them as dismissing and ignoring facts and problems. Why would the hobby trust or go to the grading/authenticity opinions of a service that dismisses facts that everyone sees. I think the horse has left the barn as far as PSA's "Move along, nothing to see here" philosophy goes.

I think the prices will change. Maybe slowly as the people with enough money to make buys that set prices figure it out.
I don't think PSA will change.
Or SGC, Or Beckett. They're all in the same group as far as I'm concerned.
