Yes, the Plank was given a big "A".

This has to be a rhetorical question.

I think PSA knowningly graded the card for the notoriety and exposure it was certain to bring the PSA brand.

There are those PSA apologists who defend this is not the case, but its hard to believe that you put your top graders and experts on one of the hobbys most valuable and iconic cards and they "miss it"

Come on now, Don't piss down my back and tell me its raining.

Ive never bought from any of the big auction houses as I always felt they were corrupt and suspect.

The bigger issue to me is the corruption that took place with the TPGer.

Not bashing just stating facts you grade the first card ever in your company that is trimmed and you grade it PSA 8 for a certain person or company like that and if you gave service in a another company like that you would be Shut Down. I hate to tell you wake up and smell the Roses oh yea you are a dealer also so Sorry.
