That's a very good point.

As for the buyer's complaint

Just a note -- he may not even know this but one of the high ranking people in the Texas Attorney General's office is a big-time collector which much knowledge of what goes in this hobby/business.

If he knew that great, if not, there are actually people in the AG office who understand cards

Seems difficult to me to support the buyer's case on either fraudulently selling (Heritage) or fraudulently grading (PSA) when he has never even held the card in question. Overgrading / misgrading as we know with PSA is incredibly common, yes - even with super expensive cards.

I would stand by Heritage in saying that they sold a PSA 9. Whether or not it's a properly graded 9 is not their problem. That guy saw it, saw it high res, and bought it anyway.

Why would PWCC do this? Is this normal behavior/protocol before a card is placed in their vault?
Is this a slam against Heritage or PSA or both?
"PWCC took closeup photos of the card and sent them to Flatto. When he saw them, he was furious"

I don't think either company is at fault. The blame lies on the investor.. Maybe he should invest in something else?

A question- Why on earth would a true collector send a card to a vault? Every collector I know wants their cards in hand. I wouldn't feel I was a collector if I didn't have my cards but that's just me.

To avoid paying taxes. If you make several purchases a year around that amount the savings can add up.

True as a statement, yet BS as an excuse.

Like how I didn't use "the word", see I'm learning...

I get that.
However, what kind of true collector doesn't want to have their cards in hand or close by? As a collector it makes no sense to me. And I get the ole, "a collector can collect any way that want to" adage. I collect with cards not pictures online from a vault. I check out my physical cards very frequently. To each their own..
