Grading card company rules............

So, let me get this straight.

On second thought, no. Let me just say that based on your description, it sounds very much like in the process of re-slabbing your Drysdale, PSA engaged in some small form of card doctoring to justify the grade they had assigned the card. While it may be as simple as "smoothing out" the corner, isn't that also modifying the card in a manner that creates a more presentable card than what existed prior to the operation, and therefore something that they would (claim to) refuse to grade if someone outside their grading room performed the minor restorative work?

I have no problem with PSA making things right when they screw up. But I really don't like the precedent this kind of "fix" for their grading room problems implies.

p.s. Note that this is not intended to be the start of an anti-PSA flame; I own more PSA graded cards than any other company, and just hope I'm mis-interpreting or over-analyzing what you said.
