At a glance it would seem to entrench PSA's monopoly position, and/or threaten to substantially lessen competition by taking away the one competitor who arguably could constrain PSA's pricing. These are the basic principles that inform the Merger Guidelines. No clue how the government would view it though, if they have a view at all. May not care. I guess if I were defending it I'd say the entry barriers to starting a grading service aren't that high, so PSA is also constrained by potential competition. Also deal may be under filing thresholds under Hart Scott Rodino Act making review unlikely.
