Joann- thank you for rather eloquently expressing how I feel about the matter.

Getting a second opinion on a graded card is a pretty complicated issue. Most of my inventory is consigned to me. If someone gives me a graded card to sell, and after the transaction I tell him he is getting the card back because another party looked at it and said it was no good, all hell will break loose.

Try telling the consignor that the PSA or SGC card that he spent a few thousand dollars for is altered, and that someone who is not affiliated with any grading company rendered that opinion. I will have to take the wrath of the consignor and the buyer at the same time, and I just can't go there.

I sell all my graded cards in good faith. If something is wrong with any of them, go tell it to the graders; I putting in my earplugs and tuning out the rest.
