Most OVERGRADED Card

[fkw]

I see what you mean.

As far as PSA-5's go, I believe this N300 Mayo is far worse

classic case of buying a number instead of buying the card. That is a 3 and probably worth about 300 maybe 400 on a good day.

i agree and i have always wondered if psa gives grades higher to people who spend alot of money with them.

I've often wondered this also. Either that or the graders over there come to work with some massive hang-overs on occasion ?

Names changed to protect the marginally innocent.

A well-known dealer sold a raw 1952 topps card to a collector putting together a high grade set which he eventually finished...and he spent a lot of $ with well-known dealer.

Collector, who is not well known, sends card to unnamed grading company.

Unnamed grading company sends it back as trimmed.

Collector approaches well-known dealer who happens to spend a lot of money with grading company. He does this at a large show where grading company is also set up.

WKDealer tells collector...just wait a minute, I'll take care of this.

Well-known dealer comes back and explains how grading company has made an honest mistake. Shortly thereafter, collector gets the card back in a shiny 7 slab. Because, heck, honest mistakes happen.

Probably the only time this has ever happened, though.

There needs to be a governing body over these grading company to have the same standards with a collector that sends in a 10,000 cards a year or 5 cards a year. I have seen many cards and thought what the #%$# where the graders thinking just like that mayo its been trimmed.

I can't see a "governing body" being the answer. I think it comes down to "if enough people get frustrated enough with a product, there will cease to be a demand for it and a company will either have to change or go out of business."

The elusive N300 Mini

Wow. That Shindle is unbelievable. Does PSA have people grading N300s who have never seen one before?

Apparently, yes. I think they missed the "evidence of trimming" on this one.
