The notion that only expensive cards get altered is both wrong and disingenuous, but in any event I am doubtful that Savoy has cured the defects in his pleading. So much, I think, for now anyway, for the civil litigation angle.

I don't think anything changes after this lawsuit. PSA has, in my opinion, effectively argued that no damages have been proven. Its the old "no harm no foul" argument unfortunately.
At the moment, the only damage they might have suffered is to their reputation. But given the lack of other options and the continued use of their services, it's not exactly a problem for them.
The only benefit I can see from this lawsuit is that there is a clear road map for someone who actually does incur damages to be compensated from PSA. They can use a lot of PSA's own language against them; i.e. the notes about PSA being willing to compensate someone.
The other unfortunate aspect of this, is that nothing will change even if PSA has to compensate someone. They, like all businesses, have crafted an "out" to prevent lawsuits. If you have damages, you can make a claim. Even on a high dollar card, the cost to pay the damages is going to be less than a class action. So basically, as long as the number of times PSA misses/ignores a trimmed/fake/altered card AND the damages they have to pay out is less than having to make any actual changes, they will continue to do business as usual.
