PSACard Auction Prices Now Show Only Card Backs?
Looks like they started doing this in August. Anybody know the reasoning here?

***SNARK ALERT***
Theory: Purely a business decision. If they show the backs only, then the whole 'buy the card, not the slab' maxim is thrown out the window. If you can't actually see what the card (front) looks like, then the only thing that matters is the number on the slab and nothing else. Meaning, for example, no bad eye appeal cards (because there's a helluva lot more of them than 'good' eye appeal versions) will sell for less than what any 'normal' looking cards go for, according to their stats. The data sort of gets homogenized...and, of course, the prices will keep creeping upward. Well done, PSA, well done.

I was wondering if anyone else was noticing that! Some kind of shenanigans going on there. So dumb and certainly has to have the intention of concealing some shortcoming or failure of PSA that they are tired of being exposed.

There used to be an old phrase: "Never ascribe something to malice which could easily be explained by incompetence." But then, it is PSA.

Maybe they are especially proud of how they grade the backs of card.

I don’t see anything fixed on one of my favorite cards. So I’m going to declare it not fixed.
