This is the problem with grading...

Threads like this ironically encourage resubmissions -- gee, maybe I can get a 10,too! -- and probably up PSA's bottom line.

Valuing PSA 10s so high is a market-based phenomenon. Until collectors stop looking at 10s like they're finding hidden gold, why would PSA change a thing?

If I'm PSA, I apologize for quality control issues, say all the right things publicly. And then go right back to doing the same darn thing.

If having a T206 Honus Wagner in an 8 holder that a high percentage of the hobby thinks is trimmed has not hurt PSA, then having an overgraded Art Shell in a 10 holder is certainly not going to hurt PSA. I don't think PSA is going to do anything, and if it does, it will simply point to its guarantee and say that if the owner has a question he can always have the card reviewed by the graders.

Agreed. I think the auction house which is running the suspect cards probably has more to be concerned about in terms of bad publicity but they don't seem to mind much either.
