Bought PSA card on Ebay, card is rattling in holder, what would you do?

[Tennis13]

Bought a card on Ebay for 4-figures+, and I just got it delivered, and it's rattling around in the PSA holder. What would you guys do? It's a PSA 8 -- and so one of the corners is dinged, and I'm not sure then if it would just get re-holdered as an 8.

Any and all advice is welcome. I've never encountered this before.

4 figured PSA 8 card that now has a corner ding... the only option I see is to return it for refund. No one is going to be happy about this one!

If not happy with it send it back for a refund. On the PSA front I see no reason they would not reholder it for whatever their normal fee is. Besides the ones with the ugly plastic sheet every PSA card I have ever owned rattled around in the slab.

You know what? You might be right. I never noticed that. I have a ton of SGC cards, and some old Goudeys that don't really rattle, but the modern stuff might rattle, huh? There's another modern card I have that rattles, I checked after you sent this. Is that why there are those little grooves in the holder that extend out but not to the ends, so it rattles, but doesn't hit the end? I was already sort of thinking that, and thinking that my dinged corner could be the reason for the 8. Just a thought.

A dinged corner shouldn't get anything near an 8... but who knows

Always a major let down to receive a card that does not meet the expectations. Post of pict. of the card and might be able to give some better input. I would be curious as to how bad the dinged corner is. I assume the picture that was posted on the original listing did not show the dinged corner. Is that correct?
