a very, very happy ending

I can't believe PSA would deface your card, even with just a tiny X. They have no right to do that. PSA's opinion that it was altered is only their opinion. And even if they're 100% correct, that still doesn't make it right. The card is your property, and if it is flawed, they've got no right to give it a second flaw.

And what's the point of marking the card? Is PSA so incompetent that they are afraid they won't reject this card as altered next time, without an "X" staring them in the face to remind them? Maybe I should conduct an experiment, sending in a common 52 Topps card with a little X on it, and see if it is mechanically rejected as altered.

Sorry to vent so much, but I just find this outrageous. And if they had actually destroyed the card, as Levi thought they might, I think PSA would risk serious liability. It would be very easy for you to prove that they willfully destroyed a piece of property that they didn't own, worth (at least) $650.
