I would imagine sometimes it's difficult, when accepting the grading submission in person, to be completely anonymous. However, this was my arguing AFTER the fact, and not before it. I doubt the graders knew who I was on the front end of the submission, but it was at least 3 yrs ago so I wouldn't swear to anything. I don't remember them knowing who I was on the front end, is all I can say for sure .

I can add one more thing. The grading was done at a hotel across the street that year.

Leon- you probably were anonymous on the front end, but once you walked it back and complained about the grade...how could they not know it was you?

We know that PSA has encapsulated at least one re-backed card, the Just So Tobacco - Jesse Burkett..........

I don't think the Just So Burkett was rebacked. Weren't sides from a Just So actress card professionally attached because the sides were trimmed off? The same thing was done with a T206 Wagner that was auctioned at the National this year.

Of course Barry, that was my point. I was anonymous until after the fact. Just like at any grading company someone can request to talk to a grader. This all being said, concerning anonymity of submissions, I personally don't care if they know who the submitter is. The grade should be for the card and nothing else. (at least that is, in a perfect world)....regards

Aren't the American Beauty's originally thinner to fit in their packs? Are we sure this card is trimmed? I know the T206 AB's are thinner but haven't looked at my T205 set in years. Dan.
