Matt RansonBrad, this experiment has changed how I look at the hobby. I have spent at least a grand in grading fees and yearly membership fees alone. That doesn't even touch the premiums I paid for the cards I bought that were already slabbed (57 Mantle PSA 6, 57 Ted Williams, PSA 6, 57 Willie Mays, PSA 7, 52 Bowman Mays PSA 5, etc.) Now I find out that they are a complete fraud! I trimmed those cards halfway drunk at 2:00 in the morning using a $25 paper trimmer! I had never trimmed a card before. They were pure hack jobs that these "experts" couldn't spot. Why wouldn't I be angry? If a drunken fool like me can slip trimmed cards past them, what could an expert do? It calls into question every card with the PSA label on it! Wake up everyone, you are being ripped off.
