It sure doesn't feel like they are concerned about catering to the average dealer and collector any more. True, PSA was a public company for a long long time, but even then at least from a bit of a distance it didn't feel like corporate America was running it.

I’m sure the billionaires who bought into Goldin are interested in selling $10k falsely graded PSA cards. Makes total sense.

Everyone is always talking about conflict of interest when it makes no logical sense. It’s like the “phrase of the day” or something.

Literally EVERY item that Goldin plans to sell this year (~$200m) would be less than 20% of Turner’s net worth.

Why would being altered stop them from being crossed?

“We are operating the same today as we did yesterday,” Goldin told SC Daily. “There will be a firewall between Collectors Universe and Goldin. I will not get better service or preferential grading from Collectors Universe."

Graders know whose cards they are grading, no? So how can there be a firewall as a practical matter?

Firewall defines here as a separate special tunnel to bump authentic graded cards to 10s.

It certainly appeared that PWCC and others had preferential treatment at PSA (and SGC) and they are not even an insider. How is one to really take Ken Goldin seriously?

And at the end of the day does Ken or anyone else really need to come out and assure anyone? Personally I would feel better if they would have just told us all if we don't like the new arrangement to pound sand.
