We don't need their names, but something like "Grader #239" sure would be nice to have.

Way back in the day we had the "Grader of Death," legend of the CU boards.

Popular submitter gets a bad grade, sics all their online followers on them, soon the grader needs armed security at their home. No thanks! We've already seen how this goes in politics.

right there are never experts that give their name behind at least authorizing things as authentic in the art hobby or even on unopened boxes in the hobby. We never get the name of anyone that says if an auto is authentic because of the politics and people running to their house and needing armed security..so never happens

i dont think people realize there a lots of instances of 'experts' in many other fields in areas of practice that are more serious then baseball cards....

we assume we are dealing with grading experts..sometimes there opinion can be the difference of thousands of dollars.. ...can use a number designation as well #44 graded, like underwear.

.i think my new underwear was inspected by #67 when it was placed into the package to be sold later at Target.. they should give their names too..

Nobody cares. They care what the flip says.

Knowing who the graders are could only lead to favoritism, imo. It is too bad graders are not entirely anonymous to all submitters. We all know there is more than one person in the grading room assigning grades. Not all graders see things the same way but we are buying into the reputation of the company. Good enough for me.

Was always lucky and never had the grader of death grade any of my cards. I have been extremely lucky and have got the "Grader of Unwarranted Bumps" almost every time. PSA has been very very kind to me over the years.

This goes against everything a professional company stands for. If asked, PSA would absolutely say 1) our graders are consistent and 2) the executives / leadership bear responsibility for the performance of the organization daily.

That we're having this discussion shows the need to fix (fine tune, if we're being generous) issues. If they're outing the graders individually, then PSA management has completely abdicated their responsibilities and the graders would be entitled to be the highest paid employees in the company (and the good ones should take their name recognition off to start their OWN companies.

PSA wont do it, but if they did, it would be the most cowardly thing in corporate history.......and that says A LOT.
