And according to this, https://www.blowoutforums.com/showthread.php?t=1407680 it changed in size after it was purchased for 1K, ungraded and before it was listed by PWCC for 4K.

[ajjohnsonsoxfan]

I had multiple offers on ebay for around $40k and I've got an offer from a private party of $45k (which the buyer will write up if requested). Best case, PSA re-holders it (if deemed trimmed) and pays me out the difference of $17,500 and $45,000. ($27,500)
Or they can buy it outright at $45k. Steve or Joe if you're reading this...I'll wait by the phone.

LOL. I think we can all point to sales like that. How about selling not one but two PSA 8 Orrs for around 3K each?

So many wish you were on that beach.

I'm am curious how often PSA is determining that the cards have been altered. How often are they disagreeing with the results that have been presented on Blowout?

A better question might be "How often are they agreeing with the results?"

It depends largely on how damaging the altered card is to PSA's image and reputation. In the case of the perforated Cracker Jack, it was an immediate decision to compensate. But with less obvious cards, you're potentially in for the fight of your life.

What a strange beach, that requires you to have a PSA 6 JR to sit on it.

I think you will be told to go back to the buyer you bought the card from and get your money back.

All you’re getting from PSA is an Opinion That’s All.

US Attorneys Office Please Prosecute these card Trimmers, I know it’s super hard to prove beyond a reasonable doubt even with a ton of circumstantial evidence and physical cards, with before and after scans, however until anyone can see the said person-actually doctoring the card I think it’s extremely difficult.

I’m call For Civil Law Suits Going After Card Doctors, hit them in their wallets.

That was Steve Sloan's letter when all this broke but it isn't how their guarantee is worded.

I wonder parenthetically if Nat will keep the guarantee in place or do away with it as another grading company did.

That’s a good question. I guess we will see.....I fell bad for the owner of this card.

If Aj makes 28K off it and gets it off the market, why feel badly for him? Seems like a win win.

[JackR]

No offense intended, but I don’t understand why you should be entitled to receive “lost profits” on a card that apparently has been trimmed. If PSA returned your purchase price and kept the doctored card, wouldn’t you be made whole? Maybe I misunderstand?

Because their grade guarantee specifically states "current market value."

just for clarification "The current market value is determined by PSA, based in part on Sports Market Report and SMR Online values and/or recent prices realized from the marketplace."

However " PSA will be the sole determiner of the current market value."

IS that why SMR is always so off base?

[Peter_Spaeth]

SMR is useless but the PSA website showing auction prices is a good resource, similar to VCP.
