Getting Auction LOAs upgraded to full cert - I know its been discussed before

[Big Dave]

Ed McMahon already.... slabbed ......good one.

Had a Mantle item that I actually was the auction winner for and it came with a JSA auction letter. Sent it in promptly ...... they failed it. Kept my money and gave me a credit. The auction house refunded my money and swore JSA examined that item thoroughly because some other items front the consignor had problems. Said JSA actually examined it about three times before passing it.

I believe the platinum PSA/DNA LOA has an Alex Rodriguez event worn jersey swatch on it.

That's the "Performance Enhanced PSA/DNA LOA"

Psa guarantees that pre-certified items will pass full cert. you have 60 days to get the discounted price, but it will pass even if you wait longer.

Thanks for the information, it was hard to locate amongst all the sarcasm in the thread!

The sarcasm was in jest, but if you think about it would the average consumer tolerate the same concept in everyday life.
For example I take my car to the mechanic and when I pick it up and pay the bill he tells me,
"Jim I really did not do the work on your car to the best of my ability even though I was paid to do so, But if you would like to bring it back in 30 days I will do the job correctly even though it will cost you more, NEXT time I'll give it my full attention"
or in a restauant , the waitress says when she brings you your meal.
"The chef was very busy today, and your meal was prepared quickly and you might even get sick eating it but if you'll bring back your reciept next time you eat here and hand the chef a $20.00 in addition to the price already on the menu he'll make absolutely certain he gets it right next time"

I know it was in jest.

Those examples aren’t really relevant to this argument. Here's a real life situation comparing more apples to apples as far as circumstances and level of service go. You have x-rays taken and sent to a specialist doctor. The specialist doctor examines the x-rays. The doctors says he'd like to see you in person for a more thorough and complete examination, to make some determinations he maybe can’t quite make just by looking at the x-ray. Guess what, he will be charging you for the x-ray evaluation, and additionally he will be charging you more for an in person office examination and visit. Do you expect the doctor to not charge you for the x-ray evaluation? Or do you expect him to discount the office visit because he already charged you for the x-ray evaluation? What if the doctor saw nothing wrong in the x-ray, but determines that you infact suffered a ligament strain or damage, something he determined with the office visit but was unable to determine in the x-ray? Do you expect him to offer you a partial refund because his first opinion was inaccurate?
