How Far does the CU dictatorship go to silence whisleblowers?

No way the Shell is a 10 much less a 9, I agree with Barry. The issue I had was this was one of about 7 cards (that we know of) that were all bumped at the national that were very suspect by the same submitter. I am a submitter to PSA and I do feel Joe O is working hard to make sure all cards get the correct grades but my bigger concern is the possibility of a grader maybe getting a kickback or a deal with a friend to bump cards with so much money on the line (ie turning a $50 card into a $3000). It happens in the oil industry I work in and well I hate to think it might be happening in my hobby, that's my concern and wish PSA was making it clear that this does not happen and taking steps to make sure it doesn't.

Barry--what has your life come to when you are on a chat board arguing whether a modern football card is an 9 or a 10?

Hi Jay- I think the argument is about what may or may not have gone on behind the scenes for this card to have been bumped from an 8 to a 10. It's really not about whether the card is accurately graded. Either you are joking with me, or you missed the point of this discussion. I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in football cards.

Hi Barry,
I agree with you on the spelling and grammar on some of the posts on the board.

Have you noticed how many of the high profile news people on the major networks are saying alection instead of election? It drives me nuts! How about a hunert instead of one hundred? Plus the old standby - interchanging affect and effect. How about affective in place of effective. Seems like the news people have forgotten how to say the letter e.

Literacy is out of fashion....even mocked by a large segment of the population...but I digress.
