I didn't photograph the Warren Spahn and the Braves Fence Busters but I did the same thing to them.
I'm sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but your grader of choice, the #1 company in the business sucks. Their graders don't have any special skills that the rest of us don't have. The grades that they assign to cards are meaningless and it's absolutely pathetic that people will spend $3,300 on a 1962 Topps common just because someone making $9 an hour to look at baseball cards said that the card is an 8 on a scale of 1-10.
It's my weekend and I've already downed a six pack. I'm not going to argue with anybody any more over this. You asked for evidence and I've provided it as best as I can over the internet. When I get my 1982 Topps Gary Templeton back I'm going to list it on E-bay so that some poor sucker who's building a set of 1982 Topps cards exclusively in PSA grades 8 or above will bid $200 on it and get his name on the PSA registry. Joe Orlando has seen the last of my money and if you're smart you will follow me. Collector's Universe has quite a racket going and I'm not going to be a sucker for it any longer.
Have fun collecting cards instead of plastic holders with labels.
Why is the loon still allowed to post on here? He is nothing more than a troll with an agenda. That is why he migrated over here, when every other forum has banned him/sent him packing.
You warned him numerous times to stop, and he keeps on doing this bull.
And plifter, give it a rest. We don't care anymore. Go away, poof...
He is the source of one of my favorite all-time baseball quotes. In the late 80's (I believe) when he was informed that he was selected as a back up for the NL All-Star squad he politely declined saying, "If I ain't startin', I ain't departin'." (that last word is tough to punctuate - help Barry!)
Hey Tim/StanMusial, I also post on adultdvdtalk.com and imdb.com. Are you going to follow me over there too? If you do, please be aware that I post under a different user name on those sites.
Plifter, you invited this trouble, not I. You taunted people to come here and say what they had to say to your face. Many have done just what you requested, and you have rubbed alot of people on here the wrong way too. Just like every other site you have been banned from. Just let it go.
I am done, I will no longer respond to you. What respect and reputation you had is long gone. From now on, you will be ignored by me on this forum. I will reply to baseball card topics from other members, but you will not warrant anymore replies from me. There are more important things to do on this forum, than to argue with you.
EDIT: And for further follow up, I do not go to those pervert sites you claim to go, so you are safe there. Maybe that is a better fit for you. I'm done, so you will not get another reply, ever.

Brothers maybe.... But the same Guy? Twins is a Loonng Shot, but the same guy? No way! I'll thank you for not repeating this on any other board! They might ultimatly meet like Arnold and Danny Devito did! So alike, yet so different...
Life's Grand,

Ps I just had to say something..... I just couldn't hold it anymore!
These occasional 'PSA grading is a catastrophe' threads that take over this forum remind me of termite infestation... you throw a tent (moderator) over it, fog 'em out (lock the threads), then wait a few hours and, presto, back to normal.

I'm done with this too. For a guy to get so much advice from people and not take it, and always counter with an "I'm always right" mentality, it's a futile effort. And I got to thinking, this is such a valuable message board for a ton of things that I need to learn, that I couldn't believe I was wasting my time here with this crap. Well, no more. So good luck, and someday I hope you learn that you're not always right, otherwise that's one heck of a tough life you're gonna fight through.
