Why would anyone cross over a card from PSA to an unknown company?

I'm curious now. Why in the hell would someone cross a PSA over GAI, and then cross it over to these ISA Clowns? Why not send it back to PSA? That's the only way that card's gonna get that kind of money. And what holder was this card in when Dmitri Young owned it?

I know??? That card can't be that clean, can it??? It is one of the most stunning I have ever seen (if it turns out to be original/ not altered).

Just take it out of that holder and put it in a sleeve and then into top load....then I would be interested. I got a ruler. I can measure it

Do you think they know enough at ISA to take a loupe and look at the edges (you can't always tell that a card's been trimmed by its measurements--some of the scammers soak it, then run it through a paper press to enlarge at least the border portions, before cutting it back down to size)? Razor sharp edges, rather than a much rougher cut and/or pinched edges towards the top or bottom of the card are the tell-tale (I learned the hard way, when grading came into play in the early '90's). Anybody who buys it better never take it out of that holder--I would be really skeptical that its a PSA crossover.

That card reminds of of those old bands that used to play to packed stadiums that now plays in smoky lounges to around 8 people in the audience......

You know what else stinks?? Apparently ISA themselves is auctioning this card off on Ebay!! Talk about major conflict of interest! ISA assigned the card a high grade, then decide to sell the card themselves on EBay!! This stinks more than my grandpa's pig farm on a hot august day!

Default Let's get some facts straight

1) This is in my opinion a simple attempt at some free advertising for ISA.

2) While leaving room for a fraction of a percent of possibility - I cannot think of a collector in their right mind that would cross a PSA 9 anywhere, let alone to GAI and then ISA. That's kinda like trading a Rolls for a Caddy and then the Caddy for a 20 year old VW!

3) "other than Dimtiri Young" - Already showing ISA are clearly not fact checkers as Mr. Young collects ONLY PSA 10's! So much for getting the company off on the right foot.
