the marks on the Aaron should be a cut and dry issue. Regrade the Aaron as PSA 8 (MK) and refund me the difference. However, they want me to ship it on my dime (which I don't mind), pay for grading (which I mind), and pay for return shipping (which I mind). PSA says they will reimburse me for the grading and the return shipping if they determine that they are indeed at fault. A very real possibility however, is that PSA determines that those two ink marks are acceptable for the PSA 8 grade, and I'm out some good money on a card that is not worth that much to begin with at all.
Edited to add:.....Bill Huggins said he will make the transaction right with me. He didn't have to do that, because I totally missed it. However, his auction house just went up even more in my eyes, and I will continue to do business with him in the future. I have been dealing with them since the early 2000's, and I have nothing but good things to say about them.
