New Member Saying Hello: Banned From PSA Forums This Morning

[oldjudge]

To paraphrase a popular commercial, if you or I submitted a group of cards our odds of getting this percent 10s would be the same as being mauled by a polar bear and a brown bear in the same day (and also winning the lottery that day).

PSA and its representatives are a little more straightforward when testifying before a grand jury.

PSA, if they are to maintain any credibility, should have to disclose who the graders and the submitter were on this order, and what their relationship is, if there is any. This smells bad---Say it Ain't So Joe.

It,s so. Nothing that most of this board didn't already know though. We would love to think this stuff didn't go on but there have been to many times that situations like this have popped up.

It seems like there have been a few more threads over there today referring to the post I was banned for. People just asking questions. They are being quickly snuffed out and POOFed as fast as they get created. It also looked like someone pushed an old thread pertaining to the submitter to the top. It too has mysteriously vanished.

This board is actually very refreshing! It looks like people can actually express their opinions without fear of banning here. Its like a catharses for me!

I am happy to be here! Thank you!

I think it's just a matter of time before PSA is destroyed by their lack of integrity. It really seems obvious what is going on, and from the standpoint of those who like engaging in "defensible" fraud, it would be easy ploy to simply be favorable with their authentications for those who they have done enormous business with, since the grades assigned are, after all, only opinions.

Now, their possible malfeasance with regard to some Wagner card is another story.

I thought the graders are not supposed to know who the submitter is. Is that not right?

I have a question. Can somebody submit 1000 cards to PSA and tell them, "Only holder the cards that you grade PSA 10. Don't holder any of the other cards." If this is possible, then isn't it possible that the PSA 10 list provided by the OP was a result of a submission like this?
