slacksJay: My point (and again, this is improbable) was that the auction house required the owner to provide more information -- information that he/she did not provide to PSA/DNA initially. Providing more documentation might help you get an autograph authenticated.
Don't get me wrong: this looks bad for PSA/DNA. And, as my post says, there is NO possible explanation (except the preferential treatment one) for grading condition differently based upon who submits it. And this is mentioned so often that it's my opinion there is something to it.
It's troubling, and that's my point. Relax. I'm agreeing with you, and just expanding on a point you made.
