At this point, where is the indication that PSA's opinion is worth trusting? I don't trust them, why should you? Because they're an authority...an authority whose under investigation by the FBI is all you should know to ask questions of PSA. Personally I dont put too much faith in them, or Beckett and certainly not SGC.
If collectors only did their homework on grading this stuff and stopped being such nickel mercenaries, perhaps we wouldn't need companies like PSA, Beckett or SGC. Even Burdick, Lionel Carter and Buck Barker knew that there had to be a value placed on these cards, but they cautioned against high values which they believed could destroy the Hobby. I cant disagree that their assessment. I believe there are a lot of inflated pricing going on and that SMR and PSA should be 100% separated because it appears to be a conflict of interest.
