Josh K.I truly believe that the point of this thread has been lost. This thread was not an "anti grading" thread per se. What I mean is, no one was arguing that grading in general is a bad thing (though I know some people do hold that opinion, I dont think that was the point of this thread). It was a specific comment about a particularly egregious error on a high dollar card - as opposed to "oh, this card shouldnt be graded a 4, its clearly no better than a 3.5". The thread is negative toward PSA not only because they made this error, but b/c they tend to make more of this type of collossal mistake than the other companies (well, except for pro) and when they do, they refuse to own the mistake and correct it. In contrast, I know of several instances (from other posts) in which SGC has been informed of an error by a grader and they, without hesitation, either regraded the card (and compensated the owner for any lost value) or bought the card back and took it out of the hobby. Ive never heard of PSA doing any such thing unless first ordered by a Court.
