All I can think of is that when I sent my 40 PSA graded T206 cards in to SGC for crossover status, only 30 made the cut. The other 10? Well, there was a trimmed card and a number of PSA 5's amd 6's that actually had creases that didn't get crossed over either. I hadn't seen the creases until SGC put a big black circle around them (through a plastic sheet of course). Trouble is, PSA didn't see them either -- or didn't care.

But the point is, you didn't see them either. So I guess your beef with PSA is that they charge to miss creases, whereas you don't. So I am left wondering two things -- 1. How is it you purchased these card, looked at them (maybe even submitted them) and missed the creases? and 2. Why does it matter? If you were happy with your cards when you bought them, why should you be any less happy because PSA or SGC said the same or said something else? In fact, aren't you falling into the same $ trap that people claim Jim is in when you get upset because one third-party evaluates your cards to be more or less "valuable" than does another?
