I received 20 cards back Tues., 2 with obvious new damage, 1 a badly dinged corner which was not on the card when I cracked it out of the GAI holder and the other WHICH GRADED 6, had a small but glaringly obvious corner tip crease which was not present when sent in. Given the grade one would assume it got damaged between grading and encapsulation.

As to the post about cutting the semi rigid open, they don't, I feal this is where some damage may come from, I always used to penny sleeves inside the card saver, thinking this would make it safer, But I now think they make it harder for them to get the card in and out and are probably hurrying much faster than the owner of the card would..

As usual the grades were pragmatic, some overgraded, some undergraded. Sometimes it's really hard to beleive the same person could have looked at the 20 cards and deduced the grades, I think they must split up some submissions.
