Because historically they overgrade cards.

Why else?

Because they've been implicated with fraud and sketchy behavior in the hobby.

Why else? Because they started their venture knowingly overgrading an altered card that is the emblem of the hobby.

I don't give a f$ck about resale...I am a collector first and foremost.

Over grade cards? Are you actually saying that with a straight face? Have you seen the recent SGC graded T206s that have been flooding the market in the last several months?

Pete- 90% or better of my SGC graded T206s were from many years ago, and for the most part, they are solid cards for the grade given. There was a time when they were close with PSA, both in grade evaluations and prices realized. All I'm saying is that ship has long since sailed. Hell, I remember when GAI came out, and some of their prices were exceeding PSA, look at them now...

Got mine today in Flower Mound (Dallas), TX, and just opened it. Seeing and smelling this beauty is the official start to spring for me.

I hate PSA's inconsistency as much as anybody, but that Rucker with the crease isn't a crease it all -- it's a scratch in the plastic that carries into the frame above the card.

Extremely close inspection by REA reveals a crease in the upper right corner, more easily visible from the reverse, which would cause us to grade this card at a lower level than PSA, but whatever its grade, it is undeniably a beautiful and extremely crisp card.
