it would be nice if PCGS would add two factor authentication via authenticator appit needs more than that. it needs a SM1 again
i think there is a forum system exploit. perhaps a pause switch would be useful with a down for maintenance sign
I don't even think it needs to be all that difficult.
Currently, you can change ANYTHING about the account without any type of confirmation to the linked email account. If that was simply a feature that wasn't able to be unchecked, then anytime a hacker would try to change a password or notification setting, the user would get an email that would have to confirm. I think that would solve 98% of the issues we have been having without making the sign in process too difficult.
I guess I'll be the pessimist/doomsayer (although I hate what I'm about to say, it's realistic).
There is one solution that is 100% effective, solves lots of other pesky issues, and saves CU money...

Thanks Mitch. I WOULD agree to those terms.let's rehash
what $ amount would you take to be satisfied and end everything?
What difference does that make? The forum doesn’t get to decide how to resolve the situation.

Re: Card title variations on PSA label & PSA wants me to pay.
@tigerdean said:
Must reholder! Have to pay $13 to reholder each card and pay to ship it to them. Just because it's not an expensive card doesn't mean it's not important to a guy who is collecting a set in psa 7's. It's just wrong. You want to tout your registry and have a separate category for master sets but dont want to do everything you can to keep the registry as accurate as possible for your customers and collectors after you changed the labeling system. It should be resolved the same as when you ship out a card with an erroneous label.
I don’t think they could care less about the Registry anymore. They used it originally as a great tool to get commons graded. Now with the new ownership it’s not in their business model anymore I believe.

Why is the demand/value so much higher for the 1989 UD Griffey compared to the 1989 Donruss Rated Rookie Griffey?The Rated Rookie has a population in PSA 10 that is half of the Upper Deck population, yet it sells for $600 compared to $3,800 for the UD....and the Rated Rookie is the enduring popular brand in the hobby. The Rated Rookie brand is 'iconic'.
I know it's a stretch, but the iconic nature of the 1989 UD Griffey Jr card #1 seems to resemble that of cards such as '52T Mantle or T-206 Wagner. It's weird, but there's just something about that card. Maybe it's hypnosis. Or the simple fact that they're plentiful, everyone knows it, but at a price point many more can still afford in a PSA 10. It's attainable.
You aren't wrong...actually obviously you are correct because the price points back it up.
I personally can't see the allure for the price of that card. I couldn't even see myself paying more than $50 for that card in any grade(obviously I would buy a PSA 10 for a $100 knowing I could flip it for a profit). There are just too darn many of them, and 8's are often indistinguishable from 10's. Everyone has their own tastes obviously though.

Re: Recent Hackings on the Forum
Don't know if this will help anyone, one thing I have avoided, storing user/saving names and passwords to my laptop, phone whenever registering. Whenever I am asked to save such info, I have declined every time. All my personal info, user names and passwords are in a small notebook. Don't know if this is a good practice but if my laptop ever gets hacked, I like to think and hope they won't find anything they can use. One time, registering for some company or website, they asked for my first 3 digits of my SS. I replied that the last 4 digits are already out there so I can't do that. They did find another way of registering me. Leo
