THESE ARE FACTS. READ AND BE INFORMED. PICS AT BOTTOM
January 20, 2019 :
I purchased a PSA 7 1956 Roberto Clemente card (eBay auction372563950966). After receiving the card few days later, I noticed a mark on the back of the card that looked strange. I grabbed a magnifying glass to take a closer look. I didn't like what I was seeing. I turned on the flashlight on my cell phone, held the card up to the light and found a pinhole in the center of the PSA 7 card as well as other signs of what looked to be 'thin' or recolored areas.
I compared other graded cards by holding them up to this same light. I found no holes and no light shining through the cards. I quickly decided that something was not right and I did not want the card. I requested a refund. I returned the card along with detailed pictures and a description of the pinhole location. I mentioned my surprise that something like this got past PSA.
January 31, 2019:
My refund completed on this day and I noticed the card was immediately relisted on eBay (auction 362546946410) with no mention of the pinhole or thin/recolored areas.
February 11, 2019:
The second auction closes and the card has a new owner.
April 22, 2019:
I purchase a 1956 Jackie Robinson PSA 7 card in a Best Offer ebay auction (auction 362625199622).
April 25th, 2019:
The card arrives. I unpack the card and take it immediately to the same cell phone light (remembering my previous experience). This time, not one hole, but two tiny holes. Along with extensive surface thin spots/recoloring of some sort. I requested a full refund less than 20 minutes after receiving the item.
TODAY - May 3, 2019:
My refund was completed within the past hour....and the same card has been relisted with no mention of the tiny holes or other problems. Ebay auction 372663835202.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
If you are the current owner of a 1956 PSA 7 Roberto Clemente (PSA# 41947421), your card has a pinhole in it.
If you are considering making an offer on 1956 PSA 7 Jackie Robinson (PSA# 24050531), please be aware this card has two tiny holes as well as other suspect areas.
Have a good weekend everyone.
