    In his feedback left, he negged somebody because of a cracked case and said the card came back miscut. The seller blamed him for not buying insurance and said the card was a psa 8. He should have filed with paypal instead of just sending it in for grading.

    He might be telling the truth - it might have been an 8 last time and a 7 this time. Wouldn't be the first or last time.

    He should've sent in for reholdering, not regraded it.

    My PSA flip change story:

    Once many years ago when Rocchi and Baker were the head guys at PSA, I dropped off a 1960 Frank Robinon PSA 9 to have it reholdered at a card show. The holder had some surface scratches.

    I went back two days later to PSA's booth to pick it up and they changed it from a 9 to a 7, without my consent or talking with me about it first.

    When I asked why they cost me $500 on the card, they said the old holder (long bar code flip, graded around 1996) was tampered with in their opinion and the card had too much print on it to be a 9 now (2001).

    When I asked to see the holder and the evidence it may have been tampered with, they said they didn't have it anymore and tossed it out. How convenient.

    In the end, they gave me the card back in a 7 holder and gave me $550 in grading vouchers, so they did make good on it.
    I still didn't like the way they handled it but that's what happened.

    Now we know why Global Authentication Inc. was such a huge success.

    Maybe the card was (OC) and he's only telling half of the truth???
