That is completely different than busting out a PSA 8 1986-87 Fleer Michael Jordan and then micro trimming it and turning it into a PSA 9 or PSA 10. Saying that and supporting Dean's Cards wiil get me ostracized here .

I think the vitriol is not so much for what Mastro did, but for PSA assigning it a numerical grade. If there is virtriol at all, the price history would suggest otherwise.
