Wake up, guys. PSA knows what they do. What they do is bilk money from folks who aren't certain about their cards, who want hand-holding, or folks who've fallen prey to set registry frenzy. They do it under the guise of grading cards.
I'm in the midst of reading a book I got a year or two ago, Ponzi's Scheme. A biography of Charles Ponzi and what he did. From time to time I think of Tulipmania, and of baseball card grading.
Brian doesn't seem bitter or foolish to me... Go, Brian!!!
But for goodness sake, don't cave in for PSA vouchers. Real American dollars. Last thing a fellow would want is for them to grade more stuff. And you know anything Brian sends in will be scrutinized.
If PSA has graded 13 million cards, then I expect them to have gotten that many correct. I realize that some folks accept a percentage of mistakes as tolerable. That's the American way, most of the lug nuts tightened, most of the lines on the 1040 correct, most of the correct teeth filled, most of the money in your checking account really there. Most is enough.
