Class action suit filed against PSA, PWCC and Probstein

I just skimmed through the petition. If the plaintiff really wanted to make an impact and see justice he should have included the outed card doctors as co-defendants.

It will be interesting if this impacts CU's stock and how Joe Orlando addresses this if asked in the next quarterly investor's conference call.

I have one question for the lawyers on this board. Just about the entire case stands or falls on the scans of the cards before and after they were allegedly altered. What will the plaintiff's lawyers have to do to make those scans admissible as opposed to being just hearsay?

I'm not sure the card doctors have any culpability to the card buyers. It's not illegal or fraudulent to trim a card*. My understanding is that you attest that cards are not altered when you submit them but that would seem to create a problem between the TPGs and the card doctors not the doctors and the buyers.

I'm not a lawyer so feel free to correct me, everyone, if the above is incorrect.

* - obviously, it's fraudulent to trim a card and then sell or trade it to someone and not reveal it's trimmed, while representing the card as unaltered

You heard it here.

Straight from the horses ass

The hobby and the board wont miss the deep insight, and PSA surely won't miss the revenue.

PSA isn't going anywhere and people need to stop trying to change other's minds on graded cards. How people spend their money is their business. Whatever makes one happy - more power to you. But for me, as I've said, no mas. PSA will never get a dime from me and their slabs have no place in my collection. I do like the predicament they're in, so the more threads the merrier.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

I wonder if they were as thorough with their autographs too?

You have to look through the rain to see the rainbow.

I've seen many PSA/DNA items fakes.

This isn't rain. Rain goes away.

These tainted cards and the doubt they bring will remain in the hobby forever.
