Whether some of the cards might have had some help seems to be beside the point.

and yet if a new grading company wants to start, everyone says to stay with PSA and would be crazy to send cards to any upstart... (though if there are clear grading issues already for the upstart I understand, I am just talking generally)

There must be a poster somewhere in the shill bidding account opened in a priest's name...
