Another one for the PSA idiot files

Leon,

I never said the board itself was tiresome. I primarily collect post war, but down the road I'd like to get into the pre war era. This is obviously the best pre war board on the internet with alot of very intelligent and passionate collectors. There are alot of great threads and great insights on here.

The PSA bashing and thrashing is what get's tiresome to read. It becomes implied with all of these threads that PSA is a gigantic screwup across the board (thus bringing up the total number of cards graded by the two companies). If you own even 1 PSA graded card and you see a thread titled….”another one for the PSA idiot files”, how are you suppose to react?

They make some ridiculous mistakes (WIWAG, labeling errors, David Hall’s grades potentially being inflated, conflicts of interest). We all know the laundry list. But they’ve still got enormous marketshare, they’ve graded some of the most important cards in the hobby, their cards sell for record amounts.....somebody believes in these cards.

It’s just cardboards guys. No sense in getting your blood pressure up. I’m just looking for some balance.
