Hottest trend
PSA slab quality issues dominated discussion across multiple threads, with users reporting wrong slab types, new mylar backing, and the painful reality of cracking open the new medical-grade plastic slabs.
Highlighted content
- @fourthstartcg resolved a wrong-slab PSA issue by contacting support via Help & Support → Slab Quality Issue, received a response within 24 hours and a shipping hold — a useful roadmap for anyone facing the same problem.
- A new #grading thread on PSA’s mylar sleeve backing raised concerns about reflective distortion on card backs, though @cwebfan23 linked back to the wrong-slab thread suggesting this may be a temporary facility-level issue rather than a permanent change.
- The FIFA World Cup 2026 thread erupted after England’s semifinal exit, with @shoops, @Josh, and @traineramy leading a lively post-match debrief. @smpratte also flagged the 1986 Maradona match ball heading to auction.
- A newcomer’s potential Poliwrath misprint was quickly identified as an old counterfeit by @eeveeteam and @TheMarillFoundation — wrong holo pattern, wrong set number, and a flea market provenance.
- @BarrackObrama opened a new #market thread on INAD abuse, recounting a disputed $1,400 vintage blister pack sale; @fourthstartcg offered a thorough breakdown of seller responsibility when listing packs as “heavy.”
Collection updates
- @UKLugia settled on the Japanese Gardevoir DP4 after finding English VLP copies running £60+, picking up the Japanese version for around £20.
- @FossilEnjoyer resurfaced a Drapion card after 19 years, to everyone’s delight.
- @bub102x acquired an anime film strip section featuring Haunter at a card show — a neat physical media pick-up for the CircleHunter Haunter collection thread.
- @Philforgot joined the Mareep Grandmaster set thread and flagged language-exclusive set stamp reverses for Indonesian (116/M-P) and Thai (092/M-P) Shadowy Threats, with @Reicha7 confirming these are tied to deck box promo packs.
Psy… psy… that’s all for today — Reporter Psyduck’s head hurts, but at least it’s not from cracking open a new PSA slab.
