Has Anyone Seen This Anti PSA Website?

[Lorewalker]

https://psasux.com/ Someone quite passionate about their disdain for PSA. Cannot say I blame them...

It wasn't me, but I sure wish it was.

Well-articulated parody!

I know it’s a joke, but they’re selling fakes in a fake holder using PSA’s logo. This probably won’t end well.

[refz]

Ha! Made me laugh. Besides modern, I do believe you need to know someone to get a 10!! I have had 8s and 9s but never a 10 for anything pre 1975.

Website is really well done - touche

It is amazingly well done. I like the Grade Your Card page.

Funny. However, it looks like a lawsuit in the making.

Parody/satire is specifically allowed under the law.

He may though need to stop using the PSA logo to avoid trademark infringement. I'd recommend a cosmetic change to FSA with the 'F' for Fake.

Even the PSA logo is a parody. Notice it actually says "Sux" in the S.

This whole parody probably passes muster.

Logo is similar but not the same. The creator added letters to match the website name. Still the logo is very similar

What gets to me though is that most of us collectors love to sneer at PSA for the company's various foibles, but people (perhaps the very same vocal critics) keep submitting their cards to PSA. As a result more and more neat cards are encased in plastic coffins.

Methinks boycotting PSA and its products would be more effective than mere criticism.

Folks grade cards because they either intend to sell them, or potentially they or someone will sell them going forward. There is no other reason...it increases value and gives them peace of mind. Thus, like them or not, PSA isn't going away.

It's kind of funny. You have to figure PSA will probably tell them to remove the PSA logo if they find out about the website.

[luciobar1980]

PSA does suck and I don't understand why people still submit to them and perpetuate the nonsense. The registry is nonsense. Their fees are nonsense. People paying more for any given card in any given grade over an SGC card is nonsense. Their moving target "standards" are nonsense.

That all being said, whoever created that website had a lot of time on their hands. haha

Right...

The Registry is such a joke at this point. Those thousands of cards graded "7" in past years would be lucky to grade "5" today. Same thing with "6s" being "4s" if graded today. They've rendered the numbers on the flips meaningless, but the sheeple can't control themselves so the lunacy continues.

I know it's not going away. But I reserve the right to sneer at their various foibles and it would be nice to do at least something to be a thorn in the company's side.

Sneer away if you find it cathartic!

[BobbyStrawberry]

I like the upside down Wembanyama.

[robw1959]

The stuff on that site is hilarious! For example . . .

Disclaimer: By submitting your card, you acknowledge that our grading is completely arbitrary and may be influenced by factors such as our mood, the weather, or how much coffee we've had. Higher grades cost more because we said so. All sales are final, and complaints will be graded on a scale of 1-10 for how much we care (spoiler: we don't).

It's not just cathartic. It's my most viable alternative.

I guess PSA has joined the ranks of death and taxes. We can struggle valiantly against those evils but they ultimately exert their depredations on even the noblest of us all.

Would take a lot of boycotting of PSA to have any effect the likelihood of that taking place is not even measurable.

I could see where people who need them for selling their cards, and there is no denying a seller needs PSA to be the most fiscally responsible, would be frustrated by the entire experience.

My cards are worth $10,000,000. I don't care what the market says they're worth.

Let's all declare what we value our cards at.

I have an idea that my wife might find a glaring difference between the "retail" value of my cards vs. what someone might give us for them all at once in fire sale mode, LOL.

[Republicaninmass]

I'd be ashamed if not only were my cards worthless when I croak, but having a plethora of cards left to my family to deal with, with no exit plan, would pain me in the grave.

As long as you don't trade in your wife for a newer, shiny TPG, you shouldn't have to worry.

I have 2 graded cards that are worth $1500 each and the rest of my card collection is worth $1.79

So I got that goin for me.............

[Exhibitman]

Very funny satire.

Why people grade? MONEY! I just 'wasted' three figures on SGC slabbing a bunch of vintage cards because I plan to sell the cards and they sell for more MONEY in slabs. Way more MONEY. Like, you know, MONEY. That thing you need in the USA to get food, shelter, medical care, pizza*, cocaine* and sex workers*. This is the land of the fee; slabbed cards or organs, you decide which to sell (hint: one doesn't require you to put on pants and leave the keyboard). Either way you need to get PAID.



MONEY, honey. Greed is good.

My cards have a wide variety of values.
Some are pretty much permanently NFS, but yeah, I would consider life changing money for them. Luckily for me, none of the ones I care that much about are "worth" that sort of price so I'll never have to make that decision.

Many of the rest...... you mentioned coffee?
