There are 14 8.5's in the pop report...... And about 400 half grade examples total.

Another example of why I feel a photo database is necessary, at least for high end cards. How hard would it be for PSA to take a picture for any card worth a couple of grand or more and post them? It could be tied into the registry and prevent some of these fakes from fooling other collectors.

I know that a scam is possible with any card, but as I keep reading about one scam after another with iconic/high grade cards, it makes me glad that most of what I pursue are obscure/low-grade cards.

There are 24 years of cards on the market already.

My concern with an online database of high-quality scans of every card is that those scans will be used to make reprints/select & alter lower-grade cards so that the cards will be excellent matches for everyting in the online database.
