PSA Response from President Steve Sloan

Mr. Chow's hand is getting worn out by all these half-assed statements.

That is just the best post I ever saw on this board. LOL (and crying)...

Both PWCC and PSA are going to be at the Long Beach Coin Expo Thursday-Saturday. I'm sure that I'll give thanks to PWCC.

PSA's live Facebook video day is tomorrow: early with Vintage Breaks, followed soon after by Rico Petrocelli's show. We'll see if they show up to those before claiming they'll be at a small show right now.

Chow just never gets old

IMO the best customer-focused action that PSA could do at this point would be to publish all the certification numbers (or tag them via the certification verification) of cards submitted by or on behalf of known card doctors.

I believe they owe that to their customers, i.e., those who have supported their brand.

Edited to add that I emailed this request to Messrs. Orlando and Sloan

They might need to buy new bandwidth to publish such a list. It would be, IMO, stunningly long. But I agree, the current posture is wholly inadequate.

This is another thing I've emailed them a few days ago. Maybe I missed my calling as a lawyer.

Well, the shit just hit the fan. I'd like PSA to remove all these cert numbers from their pop report; you can wait until next week when the Set Registry deadline is over.
It's also a great idea to remove all the cert numbers from the cracked cards from the registry as well. Feel free to give me a call if you need additional advice.
Thanks!

I am guessing Sloan did not respond to any of your emails or you would have posted the responses.

He and Betsy (copied both of them each time) stopped responding on May 7th. But no, I wasn't planning on posting them even if they did. Don't mind posting ones I sent them.

Gods do not answer letters I guess.

Just my personal opinion, but like I have said numerous times, I think SGC does a far better job at grading than PSA does?

I'd also go out on a limb and say, with regards to the T206 sig scandal, that it was likely one guy who authenticated the majority of those, and I would assume he is no longer employed?
