In reference to post #74, I didn't realize ebay or PSA would debate the grade of a card they already slabbed, that's just crazy. What are they going to do, say it's the wrong grade and shoot themselves in the foot (assuming the card is in a PSA slab)? Yes, that would be annoying. It'd be funny as hell if the authenticator determined the card was trimmed and the flip is incorrect (should be an A rather than numerical grade - probably zero chance of that occurring).
The following is from ebay:
The seller ships your card to the authentication facility, where PSA inspects every item. For ungraded cards, PSA experts verify authenticity through a multi-point inspection, and then carefully review listing details for accuracy. For graded cards, PSA experts authenticate each case and label. No regrading is performed.
It would be interesting to see if PSA would start offering grading services for ungraded cards during the "authentication" process. Pay the fee, the card is slabbed, registered, and shipped. I wonder what the turn around time would be for that service.
