brianI've been a high end PSA set builder since 1996. I have easily spent over a million dollars on PSA cards(8 grade only)in an attempt to build my sets from the 40's and early 50's. I've easily consigned over a million dollars in vintage cards with Mastro, Goodwin, Memory Lane and all the top PSA dealers over the past 10 years. I've personally worked with J.P. Cohen of Memory Lane for the past ten years. J.P. Cohen is as respected within the hobby by the top collectors as much as any other dealer. How do I know this? Because the legends of our hobby like Charlie and Marshall have worked with J.P. Cohen for years and have trusted him with their personal collections. I have consigned hundreds of thousands with Memory Lane over the years and I have never ever come close to having one negative experince with J.P. Cohen. Over the years I have built a relationship with J.P. based on trust. I've certainly never spent one cent with Greg which is not to say that he's dishonest, just not close to being held in the regard that the top collectors regard J.P. Cohen and Memory Lane. Most collectors would be stunned to know some of the dealers still in the hobby that had reputations for carving up cards prior to PSA. That's the only reason I remained in the hobby, PSA at least gave me a sense of comfort versus some self serving dealer. I suggest every collector base their opinion on their personal experience, not someone's alledged background from years ago. As I mentioned, send Charlie or Marshall an email sometime.
