If PSA is concerned about it, though, they are not acting like it. Their CEO is out stumping about how conscientious they need to be with their grading, because their guarantee is behind it.

How was it a bad plan? IMO the entire growth of PSA, the set registry, the explosion in card prices and money inflow into the hobby, happened because of the supply of high grade holdered vintage cards. My supposition is that David Hall understood this from day one.
