I dont think They are as corrupt as they are incompetent. I have a bigger problem with corruption than incompetence. Though I am not a fan of either. I also believe a lot of people consign their mistakes to places like probstein so they have more annonimity when selling. Mistakes meaning over grades or even sometimes graded altered cards, I have heard of some people doing this that is why you see some people that sell on eBay also consignto some of these places. In probsteins defense they do offer a nice service for a very reasonable price, so some people give them stuff because they are small and can't handle all the listing and shipping on their own. For the record I have never consigned to probstein but would consider it in the future. again having submitted over a thousand cards at a time on numerous occasions and also having worked for one of their biggest dealers, I have NEVER seen any evidence of favoritism from PSA, I do think they have better access to getting cards reviewed but I do not think you get favoritism.

"your looking to start trouble by posting unfounded conspiracy therories."
I would never want to post on a message board that can't correctly spell "you're" and "theories." That's the real problem. And "Big Red One" still hasn't put his name out. Please do so. Last edited by barrysloate; 11-02-2012 at 04:52 AM. |

Clever post John...and you still haven't put out your last name so I'm guessing you are about to be kicked off your second message board this week.
I see your name up at the top. I stand corrected. Last edited by barrysloate; 11-02-2012 at 06:58 AM. |

IMO...I think it’s too easy to simply point to high profile instances and examples and scream conspiracy. The examples that you bring up and quote are obviously the high profile ones from either big sellers like Probstein, famous collections like the Young collection or even more famous cards such as the T206 Wagner that get discussed almost to nausea on boards. When cases like these get favorable grades or re-grades, it’s easy to point and yell and scream conspiracy because of the high public profile the seller, collection or card itself already have. But the fact is that the majority of PSA’s work never sees, or is never subject to the high levels of scrutiny that these examples are. If Fred Shmuck from Anytown, USA re-submits an 8 and gets it bumped to a 10 you most likely will never hear of it.
