Kevin Saucier"PSA just needs to do a better job, from all I have seen, in catching alterations"
Agreed, but how? They feel that they have the very best in place. Will not consider creating a senior level position that deals only with advanced (or any) alterations. From what I understand graders do not go to any training sessions and most of their senior graders, however good they are, are not up to date with the latest techniques....not even close.
As I mentioned, I live 20 miles from PSA (60 miles from GAI) and was looking for a career change. Seems like a no-brainer of where my services would fit best. At least Joe O. was very polite in the email rejection. My ego is not that big where I need to pursue what's not there. He did ask if I wanted sit for the grader test. My ego then kicked into gear and I asked him if he wanted me to test his senior graders (LOL).
Seems PSA is back to square one. Keep those cards coming, send in your payment and Little Johnny will decide if your $10K cobb card has been altered...after his parents sign the work release of course. Now if he reads the Scarlet Letter in English class that day, everything he grades in 20 seconds will be stamped with a big "A".
