Grading Guarantees - Are They For Real???
Have you or anyone you know of ever made good on any of the major grader's grading guarantees? In other words, have you ever heard of a submission for "review" that came back reduced in grade along with money to compensate for the grade reduction?
Personally, although they advertise it, I don't really think it truly exists unless there is an extreme case of overgrading. I tried it once with a 1958 PSA 5 card of Yogi Berra. The card was in decent condition except for a full 1" diagonal crease in the upper right area, visible on front and on the corresponding area on back as well. It came back as "correctly graded," which was actually a bit of a surprise to me considering the fact that a card graded PSA 5 normally wouldn't have an obvious 1" diagonal crease visible on both sides.
