"This" refers to a legal battle over a baseball card that would have previously made the owner a handsome sum- but which was apparently not enough. "After seeing a PSA 9 Mantle sell for over $282,000 in Memory Lane's December 2006 auction, the civil complaint indicates Haas contacted SGC owner Dave Forman."
As for the "one," I would refer to anybody who believes they can make more money by having a card graded (a) higher; or (b) by a perceived more reliable grading company. If it works, go for it. If it doesn't work, whose fault is that? I never indicted anybody for wanting to make money. I just have an issue with losing a gamble and blaming someone else-
which in the long run, makes the grading companies more paranoid and less solvent (paying legal bills)- which ultimately gets passed on to us.
And no, Richard, my collection will not go to charity, nor do I plan on retiring over them. I also refuse to wage battles against grading companies for not getting what I believe I am entitled to.
Finally..."apparently not?" Well if an owner of one company can get a 10 from the company s/he owns and not a 10 from a company s/he doesn't own, how does that not make sense?
