I recently tried cleaning my slab with PlastX however some seeped inside the seams. I tried getting it out with paper and it worked until a piece ripped off and got stuck inside… I tried getting it out but failed, and now there are scratches inside the seam as well. Is it worth sending in for a reholder or will PSA consider this as being tampered or evidence of tampering and regrade it? This card is currently a 10 and probably would not get a 10 again if it were regraded which is why I’m hesitant.
If youre submitting for a reholder, and they deem it unworthy of a 10 it will probably get the regrade. If its for the PC id just keep it, but if you plan on selling it you may as well take the 9, and money back right?
It’s mew rc24 and market is 8k but i know they’re gonna offer some outrageous compensation if they even do give compensation. Also they only regrade if the slab shows evidence of tampering right?
Im not quite sure 100%, but if they made the error in the grade in the first place I would expect them to pay the difference if thats what we’re talking about. Maybe not though ;-;. I dont think they will if the slab is damaged. I was mainly piggybacking off of OP’s comment about it maybe getting a 9.
So I’m learning something new here. You mean to tell me if you submit a card for reholdering alone, they regrade it? How and why would they feel the need to do that unless they damage the card…?
Yeah I heard somewhere that if there’s a big scratch directly over or below the card it’ll warrant a regrade and if the slab is tampered with but I haven’t seen anyone w/ my situation so I’m not sure they would consider it tampered or not. The whole regrading thing is also a mess and I’ve seen a lot of mixed things about it.
That’s what I was confused about too. A lot of people have said that PSA regrades the cards for reholdering but that doesn’t make a lot sense and isn’t mentioned on their website.
Before that they say they do not generally regrade cards but then they proceed to say they would confirm the integrity? Maybe they mean they just review if the slab is authentic?
I would like to believe they wouldnt regrade it in your case. If they did I would expect them to disclose this with you BEFORE doing any action that way you could have information on what happens next.
I would not expect this. I would expect them to tell you it was regraded for an only slightly probable reason and that you are out of luck because that reason was in their terms of allowable reasons.
I contacted PSA about that and the person who spoke to me said that they would not be able to let me know if they did have to regrade and would just do it. She did tell me though that if the scratches are minor there was a good chance they would just reholder. However in my case there’s a whole paper stuck inside and the scratches are inside the seam
Wasn’t there a big debacle about this before and basically PSA said that unless the card is worth a bagillion dollars then they’ll just reholder it. And it’s only if the card looks like mega bad and they’re like…wait a minute…I think this misgrade was huge.
They said they’re not out here trynna regrade everything, just ones that have a higher value so that they can stay consistent with their standards.
