Often, the nicest card you can find comes in a graded holder...i just got a PSA 5 Pattee (great card!), and I remember often seeing "SGC 60 (psa 5)" OR, JUST AS HELPFUL, (5) (without the PSA).--and none of them got wiped out (but someone said they could if eBay or PSA were so inclined). I find the extra listing helpful--not because SGC's grading is "bizarre,": but because it's numbers don't quite correspond to PSA's (a 60 is a 5, not a 6). In fact, it's nice to be reminded that you're dealing with an ex card instead of an Ex-mint.

It seems to me what PSA is doing is getting rid of SNEAKY uses of their numbers--this guy, they think, is going out of his way to say the card is not PSA graded, knowing full well that the use of "PSA" in a positive OR negative sense will get the listintg included in all of ours.

That is, if PSA is capable of such complex thinking, and seeing some of the cards they've graded, I'm not so sure...
