They won't grade "altered" cards but on their website the say they plan on "pressing" comics "to remove wrinkles and dents" before grading... how is that not altering? 🤦♂️
PSA could have nipped this in the bud by decertifying and banning the numpties who shouted out a card cleaning company in their very own office. That would have made a big statement.

The problem is if they sold the card. If they sold it as a PSA 10 before PSA took it down. Is PSA liable for the price difference to the card now ??? Because the buyer would have bought it as a PSA 10. After purchasing the card PSA took away the grade on it. The buyer would have done nothing wrong.
They are liable, given their guarantee. That’s precisely why it got decertified. Nat Turner was on the Geoff Wilson show talking about this exact type of scenario.
This is outrageous. If you send in a card in you bought, not only can they ruin that card (with no cause) but they can ruin your entire order. Then they steal your money. I can't believe this.
@DanTheCardMan2 that's not remotely true. You buy a card from a shop and send in an order. They ruin all your cards and steal your money because they believe it was cleaned. You didn't do it. Maybe the guy who sold it to you did. Maybe he didn't. Maybe it was the guy who traded it to him. Or the guy he got it from. Maybe it was never cleaned. Doesn't matter. They ruin your cards and then rob you for trusting them.
@@timhall5382 They are not ruining your card - they are merely giving their opinion as a third party. The problem is that you and others are putting undue weight on their opinion.
Psa didn’t have the balls to decertify that wemby 1/1, knowing that it had been ALTERED (cleaned is an understatement). However, they decertified a bunch of vintage cards that the submitter showed being altered with the juice. Now this had been decertified? Make it make sense! That wemby 1/1 MUST now be decertified given the market KNOWS it went through the same process as these recent decertifications
They didn't know that the Wemby had been altered. The guy gave shoutout to Kurt, but didn't say anything about using his products on it. Maybe they did, but there was not enough evidence to do anything on it.
What’s still interesting is the fact they still can’t detect the cleaning upon grading. They have to look online where others point it out to them that it’s been done. You can be a card cleaner and just not show it online and get away with it.
I thought I was gonna be blacklisted for using a microfiber cloth on my cards before I understood what some of the card cleaners are using. Hope you're feeling better man gonna watch the video once I get the kids to bed!
The problem here is that if the submitter hadn't posted the images, it wouldn't have been caught. PSA's grading process failed by giving it a PSA 10 in the first place.
Kudos to PSA for taking action at least.They are in a weird spot.They have a guarantee on something that they cant actually detect very well so it leaves them very exposed to payouts.
Hey Dan - problem is I do believe there would be ONE ignorant buyer who would think it is a 10, and not understand that the auto wasn’t graded. More scamming has actually taken place by just the card being graded authentic with just the auto graded. I’m glad it was taken down period. Now you just have to hope perspective buyers actually look up the cert no
I am not saying agree with what's going on, but a good friend of mine who has owned a LCS since the late 80s even told me ALL this stuff (soaking, polishing, rolling corners) has been going on even before he opened shop. The expanse of social media over the last 10-15 years is why its popping its ugly head up so often now. I do agree, altering needs to be exposed and declared when selling. Its not fair to the end buyer.
Just a thought, is it possible that the owner could’ve evaded all of this mess, by cleaning the card originally, except leaving out the auto? Some people noticed this card due to the auto. So it’s entirely possible if the auto was not touched to begin with, this would’ve passed everyone’s eyes?
Card is effectively dead now. It's so easily identifiable that it'll never escape this story "was a 9" isn't a selling point when the world knows its altered
I don't get how that card got a 10 in the first place. If PSA docks a card for a print line, shouldn't they knock a grade off for a smeared (faded, waxed) auto?
A lot of these cards that get handled by the players that are raw autographs. Should be clean. But are not. I think it’s up to the card puller to be able to clean it. should be able to determine what they need to use to clean it. So if we all had fingerprints on our PSA cards. They would be downgraded so horribly.
The reality is that this card only got decertified because of gossip channels like this, NEO and others. Most don't even understand that the auto has nothing to actually do with a surface grade on a card. That card still would've graded a PSA 10 with likely a 6 or 7 auto if the person went that route. The hobby savants are just annoying because they don't even understand any of the actual grading guidelines for any of the companies they complain about. Misery just loves company.
Not really. It's the fact that most people don't understand that the auto has nothing to do with the grading of the surface on a card. That card would grade a PSA 10 with an auto 6 or 7 because they are two different sets of grading. Sticker autos with scratches and bubbles on the sticker don't affect the grade of the card either. It's just that most people have no idea how any grading criteria works for any of the companies they complain about.

@@DanTheCardMan2 I'm only writing about the cleaning products that take a card back to its original state (not products that alter cards).

No, PSA will cover them. PSA guarantee does not apply to people who submit the card. Only if you’re someone who bought it later on.
@@suzie9874 If you bought a Beckett slab, you would be. But PSA actually guarantees the card that someone buys in their holder.
