My nephew was really into these cards, and he wanted this card BADLY. I found one on Ebay and paid $25 for it to give to him on his birthday. Apprently it is/was very valuable to Pokemon players. I'm not sure why you'd want it in a slab though. Seems like it'd make it hard to shuffle into your deck.
It's pretty obvious that this EBAY seller is just trying to ruin PSA's great industry reputation. The graders at PSU hold themselves to the highest professional standards. They should not be held hostage by slimy EBAY dealers who are just trying extort money from PSA. Mr. Joe Orlando himself has repeatedly proven the honestly and integrety of PSA despite the hordes of vandals out there trying to damage his good name. In PSA's wisdom, they have deemed this card to be a 10. This professional analysis comes from decades of combined experience in the trading card hobby. Such professional and quality analysis should not be questioned by slimy EBAY dealers.
If a customer wants to send a card back for a refund you should let them, it's just good business. Give them 10 days or whatever and let it be. There are not that many people who will flip cards like what you are describing so the risk is pretty small and even if they do you can block a bidder like that from future auctions.

This is true, I would say 99.7 % of buyers and dealers are honest and would never think of doing this, but there is the small percentage that does and if it is volatile card (modern card/ hot rookie) the price can change almost overnight, similar to new unopened wax boxes everyone wants to be the first on the block with it and 2 or 3 days later before the buyer has even received the box the price has dropped 10 to 50 dollars a box. I remember paying 340.00 a case for 1988 Donruss so I could have it for the Christmas rush in 1987 and selling it for 75 cents a pack and 24.95 a box of course after Christmas it was all over the place for 50 cents a pack and 15.00 a box . The point being I don't have a problem with refunds but I understand why dealers/collectors put No refunds on graded cards or unopened new material. I was in retail for 20 + years and one rule I found to be false was: (that the customer is always right), I would say the customer is always right about 99.9% of the time but not always. As the saying goes one bad apple ruins it for everyone. Have seen scams on both sides of the fence. JMHO
<< <i>Now that's a fucd up PSA-10, I'd be pissed if I bought it and happy as hell if I submitted it! >>
Not sure why you would be happy if you submitted an obviously flawed card which received an incorrect rating. Unless you find a buyer who collects simply based on the plastic case a card is stored and the card's flap instead of using his own eyes, you will have nothing more than an oddity.
