This is the problem with grading...

[nolemmings]

have I taken any action against that bidders ID since it was shown to me that a safely bid was placed ? yes, i have blocked that ID....

I still think that is insufficient--refuse his consignments. Sounds like he has enough above board consignors that he doesn't need to be affiliated or connected in any way to a shiller.

Let me throw this out at the board. I almost feel that any card that is going to get a PSA 10, should be "signed" off on by Joe Orlando. He's the face of PSA and how many "10's" actually come in to PSA ( Let me back up and we'll say any card before 1980 of a "star" player. Any pre- 1970 card of anyone must be signed off on ) Joe might not be a professional grader, but he's got a good set of eyes. He's seen enough cards to know what a 10 looks like. Heck, you could even include a little certificate with the card the says congrats, lists how many other 10's are for that particular issue, etc... I know if I were Joe, the Art Shell 8 to a 10 situation would have me hot and looking for answers from the graders that were involved.
