Comments and thoughts needed re: PSA grading

[swarmee]

I always check my pop to see whether all cards get holdered before they ship them back to me. I use a credit card that generates an email any time I purchase something for more than $250 on it. So when PSA completes the order, charges my credit card, I know the scores have popped. I had two in my recent shipment of 100 cards (1900-1930 era) that originally were originally trimmed or minsize that I stopped the shipment and asked that they holder. They came back as a 4 and a 4.5, I believe.

I did not know that and I always know my grades before they ship them so I will ask for them to be slabbed regardless.

Here is one of my "altered". Don't you think I would have wanted this slabbed? I don't think the majority of people submitting are dealers.

It is stories like this that makes me hate PSA and call their business a total scam. How can 2 cards be trimmed or not meet minsize and then magically turn into a 4 and a 4.5 because the customer simply asks. Obviously the cards did not magically change.
