Cracker Jack is egregious and an embarrassment and one I can�t figure out how it happened. But most were simple mistakes not actually ignorance. Expecting perfection makes you an idiot. Of course that�s what we should shoot for but it�s an unrealistic expectation. I assure you some people at these companies know more than you unless you are Kevin struss or john rumirez. You aren�t smarter about cards than the best guys at sgc or PSA. Maybe the worst ones but not the best. And maybe certain issues but not cards across all the different eras and sports.

Yes this is more along the lines of what I was looking for!

Well, yes and no. No one expects perfection and errors like the Ripken or 'Alomar' are just errors. But misidentifying cards completely, misidentifying sets, refusing to accept new research, that's just negligence or arrogance. For years, PSA refused to acknowledge the existence of a T220 Silver Border Donovan. Joe O's rationale: we haven't graded one so if we add it to the checklist no one will be able to complete a PSA-graded set. Yeah, that made sense. Ignore the facts you don't like.

They don't have to be perfect, but they do have to try.
