steve yawitzI'm proud to have joined the hearty band of deslabbers, Frank.
As for the title of the thread, I don't think people are necessarily dissatisfied with the grading standards as much as they are with the application of those standards. At least that's been my experience with PSA. And it's not necessarily the mistakes that PSA makes, but their failure to own up to those obvious errors.
Like others have said, after 7 years in my second hobby stint - there was the obligatory lull during the college and early post-graduation years - I'd just assume trust my own eyes and eye appeal standards than PSA's.
