The tools have changed in some cases and the skill level of the whackers has heightened but so has the awareness of our experts -- that's what they are paid to do -- and that's why people have so much faith in the PSA process.

Just as in the everyday world of criminal justice, it's up to the authorities to keep up with or stay a step ahead of the criminals in order to prevent crime and catch them. As the world's sportscard grading authority, we take the same approach and will accept nothing less from our staff."

At this point I have ZERO faith in the PSA Process.....very sad.... they will take no responsibility...scammers trimmers doctors will continue, PSA can't catch them or prevent them...no consequences for the trimmers/doctors ...they just submit under surrogates...then consign to auction houses
Nothing to see here same business as usual ...Unfortunate :-(

And now for something completely different:
PSA throws away a card worth $2,000.

Two others in thread say they heavily damaged cards while in their facility and still graded both a 9: one with a crease and one with heavy corner wear. Hearkens back to the folded over corner that was kept a PSA 8 on the post-war board last year.

PSA is just disgusting at this point.

One thing we have in common with PSA: they don't know either.

I'd rather see a live test of PSA's graders.

Such arrogance, especially right in the face of the scandal... and the $20 fee is just an extra slap in the face of "the sheeple". These kids and grown-ups should be charging PSA $20 per head for the "lesson".

A series of PSA graders review your card for authenticity. If genuine, PSA looks for evidence of doctoring, such as re-coloring or trimming.


Well, I for one trust them.

Hey Steve, has that internal investigation finished up yet? Anything "material" that is worth disclosing?

Finished up and found nothing wrong. Just a few internet trolls blowing a very small percentage of cards mistakenly graded from human error. Move on nothing to see here.
