Albie O'HanianMW-My point was that most major dealers and auction houses sell PSA cards. My guess is that this fact is because they are more liquid. That is my opinion. I did not say that PSA is more accurate or consistent, merely that PSA is preferred by dealers and auction houses. I do not see a reason to slam that point.
Yes, thank you for buying the 1956 Topps set (although it was somebody I work with who sold BMW that set-we usually flip a coin for the task of who is going to go around on Sunday and try and peddle some extra stuff-he lost 
) do not forget I have sold you a C57 Benedict, some Ice Kings and some Canadian Chewing Gum cards. If you are nice to me, I might offer you some high grade 1937 OPC batter-ups and some high grade V304D's as well in the future.
Finally, a couple of questions in your notes you write - "Now, there's no longer any guesswork as to whether that 1952 Topps PSA 7 Mickey Mantle is really the borderline "8" as an Internet seller might claim. If it is, SGC grades it a 7.5 (86). If not, it's just a 7 -- simple, meaningful, and precise with a greater emphasis placed on offering the consumer a better value rather than a better "snow job" by a seller who probably sees every card he owns as a super-high-end, unbelievable example."
Yet, you have a Bobby Orr SGC 84 in which you state- "Conservatively graded NM 84 by SGC. In our opinion, this stunning card is extremely close to an SGC 88!" -if it was that close to an 88 should it not be an SGC 86?
and my last question -Does Dick Towle do restoration work? I was under the impression (from years ago mind you) that he was only capable of removing things from cards-can he also improve centering and build up corners?
