Already asked this question before in the thread, but i guess it flew over everyoneās head since Cullers updated the thread with the PSAletter, but;
Does anyone know if PSA is also gonna hunt for the other older FPO cards they graded back in the day? I know a few charizards got graded before they stopped - is there any chance they would actively try to take these out of the database also?
(Say if I would try to sell mine on eBay, could the same thing happen to me? Even if i bought the card off someone else & itās clearly an āoldā one, not recently graded?)
True that, but you never know- maybe other members also recieved callBack actions from PSA for the card. Still canāt believe they actually took this route⦠Will they start doing this with the no-damageNinetales, ghost stamp pika etc. to then?
Guess same answer; nobody knows since no one here works there, but i do find this approach kinda scary
This is just my personal opinion so please donāt take this as a āfactā.
I think it would be much harder for PSA to buy back the other FPO cards because it would require an insane amount of legwork, compared to cullers case here. In this case, itās extremely easy to coerce cullers since he is the first owner of the card when it got PSA graded, so thereās no buy back in place.
However, if they ask other owners of FPO cards to return the card, it gets more tricky because the owner (who is most likely wonāt be the original owner) will be asking for compensation. What if the owner said that the FPO card was purchased for 5000$ and they assumed it was PSA graded, meaning itās authentic? The fact PSA would take it back and remove the casing/unauthenticate it would mean that the authenticated an unauthentic card, meaning the buy back should kick in. They would then have to compensate for the card, which would hurt their bottom line. Furthermore, they would also lose the threat of making the owner lose PSA privileges, since the owner may not have a PSA account/itāll be harder to track them down.
So as long as I would keep āthe receiptā of the sale (or evidence I bought the card) PSA should first offer me a BuyBack option before they scrap the card from the database?
[Not that i would want to sell the card, but just curious about these kindaThings]
Iām not PSA so I donāt know how they would treat each specific scenario. But in general I donāt know what a company would offer to buy a card that didnāt sell.
If I buy it from cullers on eBay for 5000.00 I doubt PSA would compensate me since it was taken out of the database before I bought it. Now if it was still in the database, I wonder if PSA would pay up?
My biggest problem is using the customer service manager as the PSA police. Stephanie should do all she can to nurture, protect, and increase the customer baseā¦not be the final judge and jury between the hoosegow and the guillotine.
Of course it wonāt. It never does. To cause change in the corporate world you have to hit them in the pocketbook and with the pseudo-monopoly they have in the market, that will be hard to do. I believe someone in this thread said it best when they said, āI need PSA more than PSA needs me.ā
They could give a fuck about pokemon collectors. As long as we tuck our heads down and offer them our money, which will be the case while thereās limited alternatives for authenticating/grading.
