Outed cards, now including a 130K gain on an Aaron rookie

Yeah separate and apart from Brent and PWCC, I have often wondered why at some point if they are seeing too many altered cards in a submission they don't just punt the whole submission back, note well who the submitter is, and ban the submitter or put future subs under special scrutiny. I don't know what goes on at that company.

So, they don't ban the person outright, but let them continue to submit. The TPG does however, put that person's submissions under extra special scrutiny (double-secret probation?). That way, the TPG still gets their money, even though they're sending the cards back to the person, ungraded/unslabbed.

Private speculation or should I say what if they submit cards in holders which the graders can recognize. Then they get stuff passed/bumped and the graders gets a special thank you at a later date.

Rumorville has it that they submit cards in holders which the graders can recognize. Then they get stuff passed/bumped and the graders gets a special thank you at a later date.

Wow - now we have hit bottom.

How? not sure exactly what you are referring to so figured I would ask.

My comment was a reaction to jay cee gossiping about totally corruption. “Rumorville”? Either there is some evidence of that activity or the post is irresponsible.

That is what I though but figured I would ask. I somewhat agree with you at calling them out without proof. Could be a fact and he is not at liberty to give up his source.

My problem is could the graders really be that completely incompetent. If so how the hell does someone that worthless at their job keep it.

If they suspended or fired the graders that have graded all those submissions in the threads, they might not have anyone left? Are they researching which graders reviewed all of those submissions? I don't know.

They are unwilling to tell, so far, if they are Incompetent or Involved.

A quick search shows PSA is currently seeking new graders. One of their bullets struck me as odd. "Sharing knowledge to help improve skill of PSA Grading Team" My first thought was they want new people to come in and help show them HOW to grade. You would think that PSA would have a training program and teach everyone how to be subjective and do it the same way everytime.
