PSAA grading appears to be a phony company. I purchased a card graded by PSAA on eBay. It turned out to be a computer printout glued onto a World Wrestling Federation trading card. PSAA is a scam, don't buy anything from them

Look at this AUCTION--of course its a 52 Mickey Mantle for sell. Seller: internationalselling2016
Soo Many things wrong with this?

So what's the extra A stand for?

Reported this scammer to eBay. He's also shilling the auction.

Good for you!

71 bids on a very questionable card. I'd say someone is definitely shilling it!

Made up "professional grader"? Check.
Blurry photos? Check.
Shill bidding galore? Check.
Seller does not offer refunds? Check.
Seller with an extremely low feedback score? Check.

A song is coming to mind....the band name was Slade....the title...."Run Runaway".

If you know the words, sing along!

"See the shill-bidding ass
Step his foot on the gas
Give that fake card a pass
Run Runaway

Report his butt to Ebay
See this fraud get hauled away?
Live to buy another day
Run Runaway."

The Mantle is back after being returned by the buyer with a thumbs down (of course) from PSA.

Quite a pair on this guy as he states it should be a 3 as the fake graders got it wrong.

I bet he does not get another 2500+ for it this time around.

Sad thing is the suckers have a worthless piece of paper bid up to 57 bucks still. I wish PSA would quit with the question mark crap on this type of stuff and be more direct with a designation of reprint, fake or something. My only reasoning for people bidding on stuff like this is they are completely clueless to the question mark and think it is an "authentic" card. Why else would someone pay a hundred bucks for a card labelled a reprint or fake? There has to be something behind it.

It seems a wise plan if they want to use the authentic for altered and hand cuts, they should kill the vague question mark lingo. Even if it is only to keep the idiots from falling on sharp sticks and putting forks in the electrical outlets.

There was a long thread about this very subject on the prewar board a week ago or so. That was my thought as well and seemed to be the consensus. Even if PSA doesn't want to say with 100% certainty a card is a fake, they shouldn't issue a vague flip that leaves the impression a card might be real. If nothing else just don't issue a flip at all.
