This is really sad. I hope PSA compensates you. Have you tried posting on Instagram too? Some people may be willing to repost on their story and help you go viral, which often has better chances of PSA response.

PSA should be obligated to replace your 10 with another 10. Seems like a good way to determine price discovery. Unfortunately this will never happen and the little guy will always lose

PSA would use that $42,000 sale as proof to upcharge you a shit ton, but won’t use it to pay you out. Complete trash move on PSA

I agree with this, they should be able to at least point to another PSA 10 currently for sale within the market and say “would you like us to buy this for you to replace what we fucked up? You can still keep your PSA 6 to make up the difference in how you felt about yours and the replacement”

I mean, they are pretty upfront about the risks. I don’t see how anyone can justify reholdering a 5-6 figure card ever again—just leave the card as is so it can’t be damaged by PSA

He blew it up on IG and it already spread like wildfire. OpossumBud posted a video yesterday evening

This. Unfortunately that would be far too logical a thing to do, so instead they just cherry pick comps to fit their evaluation narrative

Did Snype have any comps?

Sorry if I’ve missed this, but where are the images of the damage?

There are none. PSA emailed him that there were damages and it brings down the grade to a PSA 6. So an obvious crimp to the card it probably was.

Shouldn’t they provide the damage images? Sorry, I’ve never graded a card before so unsure of the process.

There are a lot of things PSA should do but they don’t.

Now that I think about it..if they dont provide pictures early enough, and they wait for the owner to make a decision then whats stopping them from buying a beat up copy, swapping it, and keeping the 10 raw to potentially regrade later?

I know, I know convoluted, and silly hypothetical, but PSA apparently sold the last 10 of this card for the $45,000, so its not to crazy to think about. I feel for the OP here though, and its crazy to me how such an expensive card got damaged when they deal with so many cards, but maybe its because the minority doesnt speak out?

PSA doesn’t sell cards themselves. People/consigners send cards to their PSA vault to sell through PSA or send cards to grade then sell through PSA.

@bvotcg curious when you submitted the card what did you value it at?

multi-billion dollar company committing potentially career ending fraud to make 45k is pretty crazy to think about imo. Can’t imagine a rogue employee would be able to get away with this without being caught, either

I have a couple wonders, was the sale with 45k completed before offer was recived? Was it insured for 50k, not 20k and have you tried talking to PSA regaring the fair market value?

I think what happend is realy sad, but can’t stop wonder why people have these stories about upcharge and bad value on insurance.

I have had 4 card (out of 20k damaged), and all offers have been at good value, or max of insurce.

All the time i check upcharge, and there is upcharge on every submission we do, there is no sale within 2 months with below level, usualy 600$ cards is ok within Value (500$)

I have complained 3 times, and all 3 upcharge was refunded.

I might just been lucky, but find it strange that everybody has “problems”

Im aware of this, I just find it amusing that it was through them is all as a public sale.
