Sorry, but can't. When you're making a point you have to look at the implications of where that might take you, and IMO the implications of your point on this issue could absolve CC.
"I was going to let this go but your last statement has me going. Who says an auction company has free reign to commit fraud? By selling a graded card from a professional grading company they are committing fraud? That's crazy."
Where do I say selling a graded card from a professional grading company is fraud? What I'm saying is that selling such a card from certain issues WITHOUT either disclosing the risk of alteration, inspecting it to confirm it was not altered, or resubmitting it only as regards to the alteration issue could be found to be a fraudulent action. Disclosure is SO easy to make (see my post to Barry). WHY not make it other than out of concern you will realize less for your consignor, at which point you've just given support to the fraudulent allegation.
