What publicity would Panini have gotten if that card ended up in an anonymous shadow dealer's case at the National? How would that benefit the company in any way?

You're talking about a company manipulating it's product and alienating all of the people buying it. And you're saying that's simple and easy but why would a company invite jeopardy like that?

I get what you are saying. I feel the same about PSA. All these BS stories about gifting grades don't make sense. Really what would they gain from it? I know I have a PSA 9 card that is accurately graded so why wouldn't all PSA cards be accurately graded. Just a bunch of haters making up stories.

Don't get me started at these supposed altered cards. Why would anybody do that and why would PSA grade them? Again just don't make sense.
