Default Baseball Card corruption

Posted By: Fred C

Corruption... can we first define corruption?

Is grading a trimmed card (a very valuable one), right out the starting gate something that can be considered corruption?

Is grading a collection of T206s with obvious trimmed cards corrupt?

One definition of corrupt includes the following:

- guilty of dishonest practices, as bribery;
- lacking integrity;


I'm not sure if grading a valuable card, that was known to be trimmed, a corrupt act based on "guilty of dishonest practices" because if it's the first time you've graded anything, then it wasn't a "practice" to begin with. Now, if we look at "lacking integrity".... that would be something that was defined as the company kept up the practice of grading trimmed cards...

oh, please, turn this into a PSA sucks thread... oh, I'm sorry, I don't want to break my new years resolution of participating in PSA SUCKS threads so early in the year... but if someone else does I wont mind reading it... I'll try to refrain from participating though...
