I think that's exactly right.

Agree.... Barry nailed it.

I tend to agree with Barry as well as it makes no sense to me that I have to pay a higher grading fee just to protect my own card?

I would think they would have insurance in case something were to happen to my card, no?

That insurance would cost more the more value you have in the building.

If I'm grading cards, and you've sent in a nice 81 topps common... and I spill my coffee... I pretty much just pay you a few bucks for the wrecked card and maybe decide to not drink coffee at the desk. I probably don't even tell the ins co.

If you've sent me a Wagner... even a total rag of a card is what half a million?
If I tell the ins co that I'll regularly have a million + of other peoples stuff in the building at any time, they'll want a whole lot to insure that.

And makes tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands. That fake rough cut has been fooling PSA graders for years it seems.

What’s crazy is that he took a large slice off one side to make it centered and he KNEW it would get past the graders!

That's a pleasant surprise.

Anyone following this story should definitely read this recently revived post and PWCCs response:

The funny thing is when I first was reading this post, I thought it was brand new and a little behind the curve because it seemed to be referencing something that everyone already knows is going on.

Now I realize it was 2-years ahead of its time!
