I’ve slabbed lots of cards over the years. 9-10s on cardboard cards are now 8s. The lone 10 I got of course was a shiny modern card. And it wasn’t just me, I subbed this with some of the best eyes in the hobby and every single member of this sub got screwed over. 400 card sub. Grader Of Death.

Oof. That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. Sadly, this seems to have become the norm. I've stopped sending even my high end cards to them for now because of it. I lost over 5k in wasted grading fees last month. SGC gets all my business now. PSA's moving of the goal posts has become a serious problem. And even worse, Nat Turner is somehow under the impression that this is a false narrative and that it's just a result of new submitters not knowing what they're sending in and companies like panini with poor quality control. Until he acknowledges that this is a real problem, nothing is going to change.
