"For collectors sake, PLEASE stop attacking PSA"

Stan,

That's like asking a three pack-a-day smoker to quit. That's like telling a crack addict to put down the pipe. That'd be like telling Homer Simpson that he shouldn't drink BEER...


Trashing PSA is like a past time, a hobby (of sorts), a way to vent, a right of passage for those that dare not post to a forum where they may not have a lot of knowledge about cards but where that person can express their displeasure of having some kid that knows little or nothing about this hobby poorly pass judgement on their card.

PSA is Goliath... PSA is the thousand pound gorilla. Sure they screw up, why not publicize it. Maybe it will inspire them (and other reputable grading companies) to do a better job. Some will say that PSA doesn't care. I'm sure someone there does but maybe not the right people that can do something about it. Maybe the right people do care and maybe they're just too inept to do anything about it.

Stan,

Honestly though, you're probably right about this topic because we see so many posts on the subject and it does get old (PSA and other grading company mistakes).

Now what doesn't get old is the good old PSA bashing that we do here...

Assume that a post that ends with a smiley face indicates that the post is meant to be non-confrontational and it wasn't posted in a way where it should be perceived as someone peeing in your Cheerios...
