They have to know that their consistency is all over the map these days. They just can't admit it publicly. They want to conceal this fact you whatever extent possible, and not giving you an explanation for your grades is likely a key component of that strategy.

I think what frustrated me the most as I alluded to above is the fact that they graded my Joe DiMaggio and Bob Feller and did not find alterations.
All three cards have similar tape damage. All three cards came from the same collection owned by one owner. Doesn't PSA have specialist graders to handle sets like this? I would hope these were assigned to some old timer at PSA who really understands vintage oversized Goudeys and has graded many of them, and that these cards aren't going to random new junior graders who spend 95% of their time on modern cards. But based on the inconsistency i feel like these cards didn't go to the same couple of graders who know the set well.
