Re: PSA Mishap

I'm late to this discussion, but the coin branch of CU (PCGS) mislabels coins *all the time*. Indeed, there's even a group of collectors who collect "error slabs". Putting a Walk in an Ancestral Recall holder is not that egregious -- hey, at least they're both blue! In any case, if the owner of the ...

Re: Ebay bidding techniques
