PSA Resumes Grading Holo Bleeds

General

Hey yalls,
I came across this info in my latest issue of SMR I received from PSA today. It looks like the info has been out there since September, but don’t recall seeing anyone talking about it here. I may have missed it if anyone did post about it though. Here’s a link to the article below. I personally think this is awesome as I have a few Pokemon and Yugioh cards I would love to submit, but have previously been detered because of PSA’s prior attitude towards holo bleeds. Awesome to see that today and just thought I would share!

Interesting reading that holo bleed was more of a sign of a counterfeit in the sports card world. How long was PSA not grading holo bleeds?

Agree, I didn’t realize that before reading it. Not sure how long they haven’t been accepting them, but remember a few other E4 members saying they were having their holo bleeds returned to them ungraded quite a while ago.

Good stuff. I know quite a few people that had their holo bleeds sent back over the course of the past year

I’d say “wise decision” but I doubt it was wise or a decision. Coin flip during lunch break more likely.

They just did my celebrations holo bleeds, glad they didn’t send back without grading.

From what I’ve gathered, it was most of 2021

Question for you, How do you submit a Holo-bleed for Grading at PSA? Do you have to select anything? Or just hope they catch it?

Hey, honestly, I’m not entirely sure. I haven’t gotten around to submitting any yet. The perfect case scenario would be that PSA has an actual designation for it when logging your cards for submission. But I don’t know the answer unfortunately.

PSA will not give a designation or special label to cards with holo bleed. You would submit the card as-is and it would get a normal label.
