PSA grading policies

shouldn't they then get a discounted price? Toungue in cheek of course. I don't weigh in one way or another on grading. I would prefer an unbiased professional opinion along with my own about whether the card is as it should be (the integrity of the card) on expensive cards. I would prefer the "extra eye" I have on my what-are-becoming-costly cards to use strict scientifically based testing. Additionally i would expect them to supplement that with wisdom accrued from observing many altered cards and understanding the current capabilities utilized by those that would chose to separate one from their money. My cards are not important enough - my bids are not high enough - I have but one voice. I guess it was naive of me to think the value of one's card submission might dictate the scrutiny it receives. Ooooops. Too bad they didn't specify the amount of attention they would pay to a card at what specific levels. I collect graded and ungraded cards. I encourage others to collect what they want to in the manner they chose. I DO think it important at times to consider exactly where you spend your money and what you are actually getting........


OH PLEEESE.

I sent a 1993 Derek Jeter Rookie to PSA in one of the bulk groups and it came back trimmed. Since I broke the seal on the set myself I knew it wasn't trimmed. I sent is back and it got a PSA 9.

So your telling me someone could tell that a card from 1993 wasn't trimmed but I am supposed to trust them to tell me that 100 year old cards are trimmed.

As for the cost of grading cards, it compares very closey to coins. Comics are larger and have a lot more to look over so the should cost more.

I think at 8-10 a card the companies are making a good amount of cash.
