Previously you offered this album for sale and stated that PSA would slab AND GRADE the page. You also stated that the obvious high grade your page would get would increase the value by 6 to 7 X. I see that your statment was incorrect. Among a number of incorrect statments. The one that concerns me most personally was you stating that the Lebron James signed card you sold me was real. It was not and PSA agreed with me. And unlike most reputable sellers of autographs I recived a refund from you but you did not refund the cost of finding out you sold me a forgerie. An expensive lessen to find out another person integrity.

What this highlights to me is that for items that are not eligible to receive numerical grades (which I assume is the case with this Kimball album page), grading companies should come up with a grade other than an "A". "A" grades have a stigma to them, because they are typically given to items that are either altered or suspected of being compromised in other significant ways. But for items where that is not the case, as with this Kimball page, an "A" grade gives one the false impression something important is wrong with the item.

Personally, if I collected this stuff, I would preferred it in the frame it was in vs the slab. The framing was very nice from the photo you showed on the card side. Much more appealing, Imo than a slab.

I'm not going to agree or disagree, but the newer generation of collectors believe if not slabbed there something wrong with it too---catch 22. I will keep with the frame with the page for the next owner for their preference.
