Want to share a positive experience with PSA.

I feel they could have done a better job with the description.

I think this is a whole other thread just waiting to happen. LOL. It would be a "man bites dog" moment if a seller, rather than promoting a card as "appears better than the grade", promotes their card as "doesn't appear as good as the grade". Anyone ever see that?

Nice to hear some positive feedback on PSA though for a change.

Note: The above is not intended as a knock on Heritage, just a general observation.

Hi Tony,

Yup - I have a distinct recollection of a card in REA in the last 4 years (that is not a very narrow description I know!) where REA stated that in their view the card was in a lower grade than the TPG indicated. I remember thinnking to myself - what does the consignor think of this??? But I admire someone who will put honesty ahead of selfish financial interest!

Cheers,
Blair

Quite honestly I was thinking of you when I started this thread. I know if I were in your shoes I would feel the same way you do. I sure wish things would have worked for you.
