<< <i>One of the harshest lessons for any new submitter is learning the difference between the professional grading standards of PSA versus those of weekend warrior part-time amateurs.
When amateurs grade a card, they're looking at just the card and not the "condition" of the card. You'll find out most amateurs don't pay much attention to the corners, centering, surface, edges or color of the card. Most of the amateurs are distracted by the image of baseball players and such and often times can't determine the condition of the card.
That's not the case with professionals. At PSA, they're trained and certified professionals, who have graded TEN MILLION cards. They have the unique ability to spot defects others cannot. I would suggest that in the future, you take a look at some PSA 10 cards so you can learn what a "10" really is and go from there.

Who has a better sense of sarcasm?

I am not giving it a rest until you admit you were wrong.
Nobody wants to hear about your problems on a baseball card message board
Nobody wants to hear from you PERIOD... That why you are all by yourself in that pic. >>
Uh, Wiz-- that isn't DBH in that picture. When he says the Marlins boast the best fans in baseball he's being sarcastic, and using that picture to show how few people really attend their games.
So far, Mr. Wanna-be Toughguy has acknowledged he wants to confront me on the phone and then threatened to beat me up (or stomp a mudhole as he so eloquently put it) in real life over a message board beef. Combine that with his posts filled with d#ck this and p#ssy that, his inability to formulate a post without using profanity to get his point across leads me to believe I'm dealing with a person who never got past the 4th grade. That or he's actually still in the 4th grade. I'm not sure which.
This is a first for me..........An arguement that I'm not involved in! I'll have to tell my wife that she is wrong with her assumption that I'm always involved in every aguement in the world!! Rich

I was thinking about this subject and would like to toss this out for "food for thought". MLB umpires do get fines/suspensions for making obvious bad calls during a game. So what accountability do PSA graders have when you send a card in and it comes back an 8, only later to send it in again and receive a 9? Does Joe walk by and just slap em' up back behind the head and say "OMG what were thinking that day?"

It goes the other way too. I cracked a PSA 10 Kevin Maas rookie thinking I could resubmit it and get an 11 and it came back a 9. Just goes to show you.
I've posted this before but because I am my own best audience I'll do it again.
Grading Company: The grades all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Buyer: Oh, I see. And most grades go up to ten?
GC: Exactly.
Buyer: Does that mean it's minter? Is it any minter?
GC: Well, it's one minter, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be grading at Gem Mint. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your grades. Where can you go from there? Where?
Buyer: I don't know.
GC: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Buyer: Put it up to eleven.
GC: Eleven. Exactly. One minter, Uber Mint.
Buyer: Why don't you just make ten minter and make ten be the top number and make that a little minter?
I've seen a lot of immaturity on these boards and have partaken in some myself. Your post with the comparison to the Special Olympics is by far the most cruel, non-funny, despicable, repulsive thing I've seen on these boards to date.
The boy in the picture might be "retarded" as you say, but he has more class and dignity in his little finger than you'll ever know.

Talking about an avatar is just freaking retarded. You have PSAs logo for yours or is that the shape of your lips now?
I guess you are just running out of things to say.
Wiz: You're a di*k
DBH: You're a pu**y
Wiz: No, you're a pu**y
DBH: Shut up, di*k
Wiz: No, you shut up di*k
etc..., etc....
Too close to call at this point.
