Speaking of spin, an oldie but goodie. Posts 76 and then 78. Brent claiming he had never heard before the Net 54 thread of anyone questioning his scans, and me pointing out that just months before he had posted a long defense of his scans against claims of manipulation on the CU Board. Sigh.

The entire PWCC thing is a train wreck, but...

I'm really surprised at the level of forgiveness here, and "turning a blind eye" towards PSA for their role in this nightmare. These are ridiculous and obvious mistakes that they are continually making. Hard to believe these are all just unfortunate oversights.

Yet only a tiny percent of the conversation is directed towards them. I suppose it's because most people here own a slew of PSA graded cards, and want to maintain the integrity and value of their investments.

But I have seen countless discrepancies in their numerical grading, and wish the entire system could be revamped to a system like Corey S. suggested. It will obviously never happen now that we're so far down this road. But suffice to say many/most of the people on this board could do an equal or better job than these "professional graders".

And even with that, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I guess a majority of people need someone else to legitimize the worth of their collection.

Agreed! And today the stock hits a yearly high!

Think Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men.

You want us slabbing cards.
You NEED us slabbing cards.

I posted a few hours ago my thoughts about PSA in this thread (post 84) as I have posted in the past as well. I agree with you 100% with your bold. Totally unacceptable, especially year after year.

Yeah.... that was a great post!

And just for the record, Jack Nicholson was finally brought down in that classic film.
