Send lawyers, guns and money

Joe- PSA employees may own cards but they shouldn't. The potential for conflict of interest is enormous. And maybe it is time for the FBI to take a good look at some of these graders. Given how much money is at stake based on a bump of a half grade, I can only imagine what is going on behind the scenes. If I were a betting man I would say much of what transpires after hours behind closed doors would be nothing short of shocking.

Do you think Joe O has SGC graded cards?

Barry -
I wasn't really arguing whether employee's owning cards was a conflict of interest or not.

I just found it fascinating that anyone could state, as if fact, that PSA employees are not involved in owning cards.


"James Beckett (I think that is his name) and PSA's Joe Orlando (and employees) as part of a publicly traded company are not involved in the owning, buying and selling of sports cards as it is a HUGE conflict of interest."

I understand Joe. Nobody really knows what is going on over there.
