runscottI guess it's within their rights to consider it proprietary info, but given the Matty Red Hindu fiasco, I think we are within our rights to let them know that if they can't come up with some explanations (and "c'mon guys, we're only human" doesn't cut it) they are going to lose some of us.
What if I authenticated autographs and explained to my buyers that they could trust me - I use secret techniques?
Ever since BMW sold the PSA-graded CJ Wagner, advertising that it was trimmed, I have kept an eye on PSA and SGC slabbed cards. I started to notice patterns. For instance, there was an antique shop that sold almost an entire collection of t206s on ebay, in lots of one each, and only the expensive HOF'ers were graded by PSA. Curiously, all cards were worn almost exactly the same amount except for Johnson, Young, and a few other high$$ HOF'ers, all of which had near-perfect corners and were curiously smaller than the commons.
No, we don't need a brain surgeon for that mystery.
