Shawn ChambersI'm really having "NEW Coke" flashbacks just thinking about this PSA decision.
I am for any company making money, just don't try to sugar coat it with a bunch of feel-good platitudes about helping the collector or other such nonsense.
The "same grade" guarantee is bogus. They should re-holder the newly reviewed card with either a new flip marked 5.0 or whatever or a simple color or style change to the flip to keep a previously reviewed card from being submitted over and over again. By refusing to admit that a card has been reviewed and not bumped with no change to the flip or holder, PSA presents themselves as money grubbing hucksters with no credibility.
Oh well...you can only vote with your wallet. I rarely use PSA and my membership just lapsed this past week. Glad this came along now as it made my decision to NOT renew even easier. I've basically been only buying SGC anyway.
Best of luck to everyone in their new half-life.
