I recall around 2005 or even earlier, someone posted a message on the CU Board where this collector claimed that he approached Bill Mastro to auction off his vintage raw card collection. According to this collector, Mastro told him that the cards would sell for a lot more if they were PSA graded. The collector said that he would send the cards to PSA himself. According to this collector, Mastro strongly urged him not to, but to let Mastro keep the cards and he'd guarantee that he could get a lot higher grades if he submitted them. Mastro supposedly admitted that he would alter the cards in some form to make the grades significantly higher. This collector was shocked and thought PSA should know about this. In typical PSA fashion, PSA deleted the thread.

Now reading that Mastro admitted in 2008 that he could easily get altered cards graded by PSA is totally inexcusable for PSA. They need to buy back all of Mastro's submissions. Shame on them.
Need a little more proof that a criminal saying he can do that...for all we know he just said that to get peoples business to submit cards to his auction..

how many people say 'I got the hook up' when in actuality if you take them up on it (for something legal) it doesn't go through....like the food isn't for free at the restaurant because of his friend being the manager type of thing..

What does "I go the hook up" mean?
