John J. GrilloEnough, enough, enough!! PSA, SGC, GAI, etc, etc,...........let it go for crying out loud! It works both ways...graded collectors want to protect the value of their graded cards and raw collectors do not want graded collections to be worth more than theirs simply because they are labeled and encapsulated in plastic slabs. I see no wrong or right here, just a bunch of people throwing rocks at each from across the street.
I, like Adam love vintage boxing, in fact, I've learned a lot about boxing by reading Adam's post and reading his price guides which I have purchased. I have a few mislabeled PSA vintage boxing slabs and the customer service dept at PSA is kind enough to let me know simply to send in the slabs and have them labeled correctly...but the continual bashing really gets old. Saying people should be fired, etc, etc, etc,....grow up, it's just a bunch of old fat men, one very nice lady, and a smart 15-year kid collecting cardboard. Seller's should identify their auctions correctly, and buyers should educate themselves before buying a card, especially a vintage card that's expensive.
Quit throwing stones at each other. Graded vs. raw is like politics (dems vs reps), no one is going to convince the other of what their collections should look like.
