PSA needs to get their act together and grade the Fro-Joy Ruth issue again .... That's their main @¥∑;#∂% Job...... to authenticate a vintage issue as authentic duh
Hire someone who can tell a card made in 1928 from a reprint made in 1980s..... it shouldnt be hard, SGC and BGS can do it and get it right. Why not you?
FYI
99.9% of all B&W cards are reprints
100% of the blue tint cards are reprints
100% of the colorized cards are reprints
Plus ...Its shouldnt be hard to tell a blue tint reprint from an authentic B&W card lol
the info has been around for 20+ years
Learn from your past butcherings and get it right.......... dont just say "We dont grade that issue anymore" ..... it makes you look bad if other grading companies can do it and you cant...
1st step should be to buy back all the fakes you graded in the past...... would be a good start.... if not, they will haunt you for many years to come
Example: obvious blue fakes graded in the past seen often on eBay etc.

PSA is doing submitters a huge favor when they won't take your money for grading a card that has a greater than 99.9% of being fake.
It was among the most popular fake cards to be be submitted, and it had virtually no chance of being real.
Why would PSA want to take your money, knowing that going by FKW's numbers, only 1 out of over 1000 will be real.
If PSA did accept them for grading they'd be raking in about $15 a card on those 1000 submissions, and on average only about 1 might be real.
I am pretty sure that's why SGC stopped accepting them too, they didn't want collectors to waste their money submitting them.
If SGC is now back to collecting money for looking at them they need to update their site. http://sgccard.com/exlusions.htm

That's an interesting perspective; I hadn't thought about it that way before. It's never occurred to me that PSA might be doing their customers a favor by not accepting submissions for a particular card, but in this they might just be doing that. I can also see a scenario where CS reps have to spend an average of 3 hrs. a week on the phone placating angry customers who 'inherited this card from their grandpa and know with absolute certainty that it's authentic', so by not grading the issue you eliminate that as well.
