If a card is graded PSA 7, and later the card is proven to has been altered before grading, can I demand the gradingcompany foor loss of money?

[pokecollectoramy]

Proven to be altered while still in the case? Cause if it has been removed from case then, no, the guarantee is dead.

Graded PSA 7 last august 2022 cracked and signed in nov 2023.

Now graded alltered.

I ask for a second opinion, that says that its been collored altered,

i’m sure it the must have been altered before it was graded PSA 7

Asked for where it has been coloured alltered and i will have the paint dated then to prove it was before it was graded and not after cracked

[caughtatpoint]

It seems unlikely but is it possible some of the marker was accidentally applied to an edge or something, that makes it feel intentional?

I must say you have exquisite taste in charizards

Sadly not mine, just middleman for another norwegian collector

Where does this say altered? The card was graded as Authentic and Auto 9. That is a choice that one makes on the submission, not a designation of Authentic/Altered.

If they wanted the grade of the card, they should have submitted under “Card and autograph grade.”

The card was sent in as graded Duel, Grade on both card and autograph

If you look at Cert Verification, it will say Altered.

All other 13 card returned with grade on both card and autograph.

It was a realy strict grading i would say as 3 cards went down 2 grades, 2 cards down 1, and 1 down 0,5.

All answer i got PSA was that it was correct graded, from a senior graded.

[Dyl]

Wow, that is interesting. PSA should be clearer on the cases as most would assume this is an authentic + auto grade.

[Tropicard]

Nice smaller 6 card return, Rays a pop 29 so im pretty happy with that one

[zubat]

Looks like PSA is letting you take images of cards for submission? Wow. If it works, wow.

[Dyl]

Can you add more information about this?

[zubat]

Oh wait. I may have misread it. Maybe it’s just they have an image in the drop down so you can select cards faster.

[Dyl]

I see what you were referring to now. Neat that they’re (finally) updating their outdated technology. It’s about time.

This would be pretty close to a 10?

[Tropicard]

If you took some clear photos with a dark background of front and back it would be easier to have an idea.

[Dyl]

Love those 9.5 edges.

Can someone tell me if that’s green ink on the top edge or mold growing?

I can’t help but wonder if the original card was removed from the BGS case and a lesser card was inserted. How could the grades be this far off?
