That’s wild! Did you purchase these slabbed or did you previously grade these yourself and decided to crack and resend?

Purchased them all raw, graded, cracked, graded again.

That 5 to 10 :joy::sob:

Had PSA reholder a mislabeled card, and it came back with a smudge on the foil border.

First CGC submission since their new changes. Happy with the results, this Gengar was deemed inked by psa, I looked and couldn’t find any evidence of ink on edges, so i’m happy it’s finally slabbed :slight_smile: Also Steam siege ftw :face_with_peeking_eye:

Did you ever try to get compensation?

Only got compensated for one.
One was crimped badly.
Other 2 had new edgewear which was not there before.

One of my biggest pet peeves

Anyone else notice a lot of PSA cases are like scuffed almost in a vertical pattern. Probably some machine that is sorting the slabs or something but it does annoy the heck out of me. You’re trying to enjoy lookin at your card and its like looking through dirty glass. I have a bunch of newer slabs with this.

Can try to remove with plastx if the scuffing is on the outside. I have some that have dried moisture marks on the inside on the slab, really annoying.

It’s from PSA perfect fit sleeves (or any graded card sleeve). If you enter or remove the card with pressure on the faces of the case, then it will cause the vertical scratching. Always enter or remove the graded card while holding the edges. Took me too long to notice originally and had to plastx about a hundred cards, but luckily it comes off very easily.

Hey everyone! I hope you all are well. Today I got my hands on a lovely Charizard card.


The card is perfect imo (good centering, no whitening at all, no corner damage). However, I noticed these 4 small bits on the card that don’t have texture:



I’m looking to get this card PSA or even BGS graded. Does anyone know if this will impact the grade at all?

Thank you for your time :heart:

Palms off sleeves scratched up my slabs really badly since they’re super tight and on top of that they’re very opaque which makes your cards terrible to look at, I threw like 3 packs of sleeves away, I’d rather have nothing than those sleeves, on top of that I have to apply some plastx to most of them now…

Ive had that happen with alot of 151 singles i ended up selling mine as LP with similar issues idk if it impacts grading but it really should imo.

Thanks guys I’ll try the plastix! Love the wax on wax off meme. Still one of the best movies ever made. :slight_smile:

Interesting to hear it’s from the sleeves for the slabs. Wow. I recently bought a box with little channels cut it it to store individual cards so I’m trying to move away from sleeves anyway. They prevent you from fully enjoying the card. They subdue the Japanese bling too much. :stuck_out_tongue:
