Richard SimonA class action lawsuit was started against ebay a few years ago. The claim was that collectors were damaged by the purchase of bogus autographs. That was very easy to prove. However, ebay claimed they were only a bulletin board for selling and were not a real auction house, so the laws that applied to auction houses did not apply to them.
The judge bought ebay's argument and the case was tossed.
I worked as a consultant with the law firm, Krause and Kalfayan, which brought the suit on behalf of the collectors who were robbed.
I don't know what grounds there would be to sue PSA in a class action but maybe somebody else on the board can tell me that.
I don't know how successful any class action could be in this hobby.
