I find it incomprehensible that a company like PSA would find themselves unable to quickly learn how to do this given it's their freaking business! That is embarrassing and shameful - especially given how much they charge for their "opinion" about the card.

Cool, I may do the same with going after them. One, it sounds fairly affordable, and two, it would be a way to do something interesting with 1960's cards without only going after HOF'ers and beating my wallet (my usual approach).
Totally agree with you on PSA. I don't care what they say, their opinion on many things is often way more haphazard than it is anything "professional." There is a wealth more of knowledge about cards (and not to mention just specifically grading...) on this forum than I would venture in all of PSA.
