The hobby’s trust in the "PSA 10" label took a hit after a trimmed PSA 10 1961 Topps Dick Farrell #522 was linked to Collectors CEO Nat Turner.
In 2021, a hobby investigator named auburn35 outed the card as being trimmed.
Evidence showed it was altered by Greg Libersher, a well-known "card doctor." At the time, this card wasn't just anywhere—it was sitting in the personal PSA Registry of Nat Turner, the CEO of the company that owns PSA.

The story got worse in March 2023. The same card was sold by Goldin Auctions. Even though the community already knew it was trimmed, the auction listing didn't mention it. It sold as a clean PSA 10.
It raises a serious hobby question: If the CEO’s own registry contains "doctored" cardboard, how real is anything else graded by PSA?
