Corey R. ShanusI have never had direct dealings with a grading company so I can't say how they act. However, if what you say is true, and I have no reason to doubt that it is, and grading companies do make restitution for their errors to whomever happens to send them the card, then the "privity" question as a practical matter probably becomes moot. However, while I appreciate the great care the grading companies take in dating a card, I would be curious to know if there are any known examples of them making restitution (in the many thousands of dollars) for a misdated card? Especially in an instance such as the Reccius Wagner where they probably can establish that they exercised all conceivable due care and gave the card a date that, to my knowledge, at the time the entire hobby agreed with.
