ShanusIf what you say is correct and it is PSA's policy to buy back at current market value altered cards that are detected upon subsequent re-submissions, then they've addressed my concerns (provided they automatically take the cards out of their original slabs and not leave the choice what to do to the card owners). However, I was not aware that that is their policy. If it is, then why the reluctance of some collectors to re-submit their cards to detect for alterations? I know if I owned a lot of high grade PSA-holdered vintage cards from an issue that is believed to have a high rate of alteration (e.g., T206s), I can't tell you how fast I'd be at PSA's offices with the cards asking that they be re-examined. Yes, it will cost me some money. But it would tremendously allay my concerns that what I'm holding is worth a lot less due to alterations, as well as prove to be a prudent financial undertaking if some day PSA either goes out of business or changes its buy-back policy.
