Warped PSA label?
 

Ran across this card on Ebay. I've never seen a warped/crumbled PSA label before. I can't tell if the holder edges are fogged, but I'm going on the assumption that the holder was opened and the label damaged.

Anyone else run across a label in this condition?

I have seen this quite a few times with the older labels, yes.

Common. Not to worry.

Thanks for responding. Secondary question (or comment), it seems the grade is a bit high for the condition of the card. But that's a whole different issue. lol

Looks like some humidity or moisture got into the holder. Are those white marks on the front, on the card or on the holder?

I believe that this effect is due to heat, or maybe temperature variance. I stored some of my PSA graded cards in my garage, and this same thing happened over the course of 5+ years. And I live in one of if not THE mildest climates in the US.

EDIT: Also, mine are old labels like this one, at least 10 years old in all cases. Perhaps they've made some improvements to the label material since then.

have seen this all the time.. especially in 707Sportscards booth.

Never get cheated

I always thought it was from damage in the sealing process they got a little crushed.

I’ve seen this before. In my opinion it looks like the slab was underwater. Someone bought a similar card with a warped label that was graded a 10, submitted to psa to have it reholdered and psa sent it back with an A grade due to water damage. You can see damage on the bottom left corner of the card and all up the left side - it’s a mess. Too bad.

Why do I always get the warped ones
