Default The number "5"

Peter,

That's a good question. I have no idea. For some odd reason I didn't get my annual invite to the PSA Registry Luncheon at the National and it would have been a nice question for Joe Orlando's Q&A session.

I think there's something mystical about the number "5" in this hobby. I recall one prominant PSA registry collector once admitting on the CU message board: "I bought a lot of raw cards in early 1990s which came back trimmed on first submission. If upon inspection it is far from obvious to me that they are in fact trimmed I resubmit 2, 3 or even 4 times.--never more than 4 though."

Yeah, there's definitely something special about the number "5" that separates good from evil.
