If all the original submitter will get is a membership they won’t use, why not:
1- Keep the card as a curiosity OR 2- Auction it here |

How can shady stuff like this continue to happen? Card collectors keep falling for the same old crap.

Just in case anyone was on pins and needles for PSA's review today, by the time the delivery got routed to the person looking out for it, the grand poobah of grading had left for the day...so that's that until Monday.
|
I hope he's thrown off by the time change and deems it REAL again. That would be bananas! ;-) Nah, that's as likely as it getting through the first time.
|
A while ago there was someone on eBay who had a major PSA screw-up, didn't like their offer to fix it, and posted it on eBay over and over again with a very high BIN basically trolling PSA. I think it was a Heinie Wagner labeled a Honus.
|
I'm sure of 2 things:
PSA is aware of this thread The card will be destroyed I don't have any inside knowledge, but those are certainties IMO. As for how the owner will be compensated. Who knows? It would be in PSA's best interests to make the owner happy, but they don't always do the right thing. |

I'm pretty sure there are more than a few certs that have been intentionally deactivated/removed due to a small inaccuracy.

Here's another fun T206 Big 4 Blunder. At least with Heine they got the card designation correct.
https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1604153920 Again, not mine, but funny as hell. |
That's a Caramel card, right?
So for all four of the Big 4, I'd have to believe PSA screwed all of them up over the years. Did they mess up a Doyle and assign it the wrong variation? And did they authenticate an altered MAGEE as a MAGIE? |
Ted posted that theres a PSA graded Doyle Error with PB back, which is an impossible combination -- but I have never seen it.
|
I sometimes wonder if these are actually screw ups or PSA messing with us. I envision in my dreams the 3 people grading a card, sitting in circle and saying "you know what I'm gonna put this Heine in a Honus Wagner slab." "HAAA, good one Mike, can't wait til that hits the internet." "I've got one better, I'm going to encapsulate this conterfeit!!!" "Ohh they'll love that too, good thinkin Jim"
If only it were so simple.. |

The guy that graded the T206 Heine must have also graded this one...
https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1604174566 Wait, there's more... another of the T206 Toughies... https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1604174713 |
....
Been back at PSA over 24hrs now and still no word from them....anyone else surprised?

I’d be surprised if we hear anything else. If I was PSA I would want this to go away as quickly and quietly as possible. The card will be destroyed, the OP will get his vouchers, and that will be the end of it.
|
Don't get your hopes up. They will squelch this major gaffe just as they've done with all the others. Slimy as hell...
Card never should have been sent back to them for the pittance they offered. |

After I emailed to ask if it was "first thing on Monday" yet, the lady called me. As expected, they realized it was a "reprint", no other details given. All very matter of fact. Said she would process a refund for my $34 and if I wanted they'd return my raw card. Again started into offering some platinum membership and free grades, and when I said that wasn't of any use, that was that. I just hung up...tired of thinking about it.
Anyways...thus ends the saga...so I'll take off. Thanks for allowing me to tell the story. |

Yeah that's about how we all figured it would go down. I wish I could just refund some fees and walk away if I screw up a client's case but that is the prerogative of kings and those who own the Registry.
It's good to be a monopoly. https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibi...to_be_king.jpg |
Wow, you definitely should have kept it and flaunted it.

I cant wait to hear what they offer you, I would think it would be substantial. I could see SGC paying $5k for it and starting a marketing campaign around why all TPG aren't the same.

I have old cards, all of them raw, ungraded. I do not want them graded. I have had many trade offers for some of the cards I have. The only trades I have followed through on are raw cards-for-cards, no money involved. Most recently, quite a few 1959-60-61 and several 1962 Topps stars/HOF's for an equitable number of 1952 Topps and 1953 Bowman color. Everything was above board. Checked with loupe, blacklight, hands on examination and "feel". Can't do that with a big PSA or whoever slab. I like to "hands on" my cards, like I did as a kid. No stress, no obsessive worries. We both walked away from our trade happy as we could be. I've read through this whole ordeal, and cannot help but wonder if this old card could have been ID'ed real or fake right up front without the PSA slab?

Looks like there are even more embarrassing fakes in PSA slabs, take a look at the Tip Top Bread thread.

Should have kept it or auctioned it off. I bet there would have been a few people here willing to put up some cash for it. I'd have paid a hundred for it easy!

Honestly, how many people here would have bid on it? I know I would have made a spirited attempt to get it. |

IMO anyone who, for any reason, owns and refuses to crack out a single PSA card, shouldn't cast stones here. |

Perhaps repeatedly poking fun at the TPGs by posting that glaring mistake, over and over again might actually make them try harder (not to FUCK UP). Ok, perhaps that's a stretch... |
