Jim Joyce is human, so is PSA I guess.
A grading company is simply two guys' opinion on a card, according to a rigid set of guidelines. When PSA or SGC slab a card and give it a label, it doesn't mean the card is a 3, 4, or whatever. It means two old guys think its a 3 or 4.
The problem isn't grading companies entirely, the problem is treating them as if they are infallible, or should be, and if not, its an extreme injustice. As this week's events show, nobody is perfect (except Braden, Halladay, and Galarraga, but even then, likely just once in their life).
