Does PSA give favoritism to certain dealers/customers?

I am not saying the cards don't deserve it, but as we all know the difference between a 9 and a 10 can be arbitrary.

If you were a business dependent on submissions, would you not make sure your biggest most important customers were happy? Of course you would.

Fair enough!

Now I just need to get the 4SC guys to sign up for this study.

Better yet, get them to submit your cards for you.

I honestly don't submit much. Most of what I do submit ends up being graded 1 or A. I'm guessing the outcome won't be all that different if they submit for me.

Here's a good example from my most recent submission. Pretty confident that this one will get the A.

It was just a joke.
But I don't think anyone should be surprised, the world works on the Animal Farm principle. Suppose I try to get an appointment with a famous orthopedic surgeon and am told he has a six month wait. Do you think if Jayson Tatum called they would tell him the same thing?

I do think there are some major submitters who bundle up submissions to submit on behalf of others. Not sure if 4SC offers this service, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

I don't know, but I would guess they have so many of their own cards and such a robust business they don't need to mess with all the hassle being an aggregator entails.

If not them, then maybe another major submitter that does mess with it? Seems like a solid strategy for trying to get better grades.
