This whole concept of paying a premium or having a third part review is for PSA only, as you basically have to take them to court for them to correct their mistakes.
The general thought that Jim Crandell is concerned that some of his cards are bunk and that PSA would not refund the money on those is one of the most telling problems of PSA. The marketing and branding power of PSA is absolutely facinating. Someone as wealthy and influential as Jim is powerless with PSA. He accepts the fact that his cards are not guaranteed. Truly amazing. Shame on Jim and any other person that put themselves in this position. You have only yourself to blame.
You have a guarantee with SGC, you do not with PSA. For the price you would pay for "third party authentification" you could just cross your cards over and sleep easy.
The grading system is not broken, it is only broken for PSA users that get F-ed in the face when they want correction of a problem.
