Something weird is going on here.....

Not to derail the thread, but could the original submitter instigate a lawsuit against PSA? He paid for a service and got an '8' grade. That placed a monetary value on the card. A subsequent buyer submitted the card for review, got a one grade bump, and now the card is worth a huge premium over what the original submitter got. Why should he lose out because a different grader on a different day determined the exact same card should be worth thousands more?? Just a thought.....

I think the fact that they used the SAME exact serial number is an easy way to actually track a card for those possible future scenarios depending on whether one is litigious or not. I can actually see a valid point being made there if upon "bumping" up, lets say the card was a 1952 Topps Mantle where the price difference is not just a few hundred dollars but multiple multiple THOUSANDS. I would be curious what might happen then.......?
