leonI think all too often PSA (or other companies to a lesser extent) takes the word of so called "experts" rather than doing their homework. The biggest issue is that these experts, a lot of times, have a financial interest in the item(s) being graded or authenticated. I am only referring to cards in this case as we have talked about other sports things in this realm also. I have personally given SGC several items that I am sure are good and they wouldn't grade them because they didn't know enough about them. The Babe Ruth Headin' Home cards are one prime example. I argued till the cows came home, with some hobby experts in my corner at the last National, and they still wouldn't grade them. I guess that's a good thing.....but I didn't think so at the time.....and sort of don't now....IF it's in the SCD, and there is no question to authenticity, then I think they should holder them albeit maybe with a more generic type label ie....maybe a "ca." type date instead of an exact one. Just my opinion.....regards
