You're welcome! But to be clear, the video linked in Post #1 is not mine.... it was posted on YouTube by long-time hobby expert and dealer, Jon English. I was simply sharing it out, as it was going unnoticed, with very few views at the time (under 100). It has since garnered over 7,000 additional views.
I wanted to share it since PSA's top management continues to deceive the public, insisting that their grading standards have not changed over time. While it is quite obvious to anyone who's been paying attention, many novice collectors and PSA Apologists have a sheeplike mentality that won't allow them to admit the truth. I guess it's just human nature to want to protect your investment, but when people are continually getting screwed by a dishonest and corrupt corporate entity, it needs to be brought to light.
The recent influx of "Min size not met" and excessive up-charges are huge concerns as well. Hopefully people will speak with their wallets, and send a strong message to PSA by refusing to submit. Then perhaps, some much needed change and honest dialogue can finally take place.
