So those are the facts about the grading of the Wagner where Joe O is concerned. And I am told the current owner of the card is still very happy with it.

He is the head of PSA now, and should still provide a statement. Their integrity (cough, cough) is in question. Their landmark card, and the one that started it all, should grade Authentic, instead of an "8". In fact, we have all seen cards returned due to being trimmed, so it may not receive a grade at all.

Does the fact that they are a public company compel them to issue a statement? I'm sure any financial analyst performing fundamental analysis should find this story very compelling.

Bill Mastro has rendered all of our 'x-acto knife' comments foolish. Obviously he knew more than we did about proper tools.

Keith Olberman even made a comment about it on the Pre-Game Show.
