Default Too Fragile To Holder?

Has anyone ever had a card rejected for grading or crossover because it was too fragile to holder?

If it's something you really need slabbed, CGC will encapsulate almost any condition card. I've had a couple cards come back from SGC as too fragile and sent to CGC to get them at least slabbed so I could sell them more easily.

Yes, I have had it happen at both PSA and SGC. I may try CGC.

Whenever I see someone post an image (on here or Facebook, etc.) that was deemed too fragile to holder, I post this image and question why the graders rejected the other card.

This one actually looks like it won't fall apart if taken out of the slab. Just a ton of wear...

My Evers has deftly avoided slabification so far...as he knows his deteriorating condition would be sealed for all eternity if he went the grading route. As is, he clings to the slender possibility that a cure for his malaise will be discovered.

Yes, our dear Johnny sips at the fountain of Everslasting youth.

You may be correct Leon, but I wouldn't want to take it out of the slab in that condition.

Answer to question is yes, a T3 Matty, SGC said too fragile. Sent card to PSA and it came back slabbed and Graded a 2. This was at least 10 years ago back when SGC was a 20 minute ride from my house here in NJ. It was explained that when sealing the slab sonic vibration had in the past caused some very fragile cards to crumble. So to be safe they returned my card and my money..
