You can pay a high dollar fee for an important card and get it back as altered and then have to resubmit and pay again. Both mistakes (number grade on trimmed or altered designation on unaltered card) show the company cannot do what it claims it can. PSA has to at least have knowledge that it is a fraud in claiming it accomplishes what it cannot do - Joe Orlando himself used to say if his graders cannot detect a card is trimmed, then it it not trimmed. Completely wrong. PSA has graders specific for cards from different eras. I will never believe it is not corrupt in relation to say 4SC which finances it or say celebrities like Mathis. Any amount of time spent would have caused anyone to realize the Bradshaw was trimmed and that is a major card. I would love to see a random person take that Bradshaw now and send it in after cracking it out. If the FBI wanted to do a real investigation it could do one with PSA by sending in the same cards in over and over and getting different grades and in getting trimmed cards past the company and in having legitimate cards designated trimmed. The only thing PSA gets right a large amount of the time (but not perfect) is authenticity (original versus counterfeit). Whether altered/unaltered or consistency of grade, not.

They're doing pretty bad at that when it comes to the 90s basketball inserts and 90s Finest cards with fake serial numbers.
