Crossover grading

[oldjudge]

No rational court would ever force PSA to include other grading company cards in its’ registry. If they did someone could start a new grading company, grade easier, and completely destroy PSA’s registry. Oh wait, doesn’t that company exist already?
Barry, I would bet that very few registry set participants pay a big premium for a half grade improvement thinking they are getting a noticeably better card. They are simply trying to improve their ranking on the registry. The registry is the engine that runs this all, amazingly enough the actual cards in a lot of cases are secondary.
This thread is kind of like the billable hours equivalent of “The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster” by Richard Brautigan.....so many billable hours lost.

Jay, the next time I have a legal matter and need to decide whether to retain counsel and incur legal fees, I will be certain to consult with you first.

That could be said for so many of our threads nowadays.

Sign of a good thread, if you ask me.

Says the lawyer
I need to figure out a way to get paid, wait, never mind...

And to Corey's (hi Corey) original question, unless there is a disgruntled employee exposing fraud, I think the graders are only giving their opinion as the contract you signed (in effect) when you send cards to be graded or reviewed. For that reason, I actually don't see a TPG being legally, financially liable, almost ever UNLESS there is fraud going on.

True, but only if they don't renege on their grade guarantee. If they bait and switch the customer on their guarantee, they may be criminally liable, and are definitely civilly liable.
