I just sent email to Joe O. about my displeasure with results of my crossover submission. He got back to me within a couple of hours and said I could send back to him to his attention for a review. Has anyone else on the boards had a card of theirs reviewed by him and what were the results? Regardless, I think he is a standup guy to take time for a little guy like me. Please let me know if you have had any experiences with his reviews. Thanks

    I too questioned some cards i got back and emailed him directly. He went thru a lengthy explanation as to why those cards could have received the grade they did. I looked them over again thru the case and sure enough, they had some factory, surface wrinkles that I missed on my first look over... He also offered to review them himself if i sent them to his attention but I was convinced the grades were accurate to PSA's grading proceedure.

    I don't always agree with how much a grade is knocked down for a given flaw but in most cases, I trust PSA to notice those flaws (even when i don't) and grade consistantly.

    I took a beating a few years back on a sub. He let me review about 10 cards from my 100 card batch. So those 10 came back pretty accurate, I lost my rear on the other 90. I hope they fired that grader. It was uuuuuuugly.

    Look at this latest sub. All of these came from PSA 8 holders. They all looked like 8.5's to 9's when I cracked them:

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    The worst thing I find is how can a card that was graded OK before and now comes back "minimun size requirement", WTF?
