PSA’s re-holder policy is consistent with what CGC has been doing with comic books for the past 25 years… No Grade Change, item not reviewed for grade (only inspected to ensure the slab has not been tampered with). Exceptions to this policy are rare and far between.
So today at the West Coast Card show, I spoke with many vintage dealers about old grading standards, and not just PSA (SGC too). Universally, every single person was onboard regarding the goalposts having been moved. Indeed, I received nice discount offers on several of the old, obviously overgraded cards (by today’s standards).
Not one vendor was willing to defend PSA’s grading over time.
