Anyone ever have PSA damage a card on review?

I once went for a cross over from SGC that didn't cross and when I got it back the case was half open and the card was sliding around in the case. I called up PSA and they paid for me to reslab it with SGC. It was a hassle. Luckily the card wasn't damaged

Matt Miller had them damage a VERY high grade 1960 Topps Hank Aaron during a review. When he confronted them about it, they made him whole, but they banned him from their message board and blocked him from future submissions. I'm not sure if he is a member here still or not, but you should ask him about it sometime.

That's the one I remember, too, Bob. Wonder whatever happened to Matt -- he was a cool dude, and had a really nice collection.

Right on - that's the thread I read last night after I reached out to PSA. That was kind of a shocking read, but I wonder if any of the extra vitriol that Matt experienced had anything to do with his previously excellent relationship with Joe Orlando. I am hoping to be made whole somehow - what the definition of that is, I am unsure of, but my card is selling for twice what I paid for it a few years ago. There's no SMR as far as I can tell on this card either (at least not published), but those are often not reflective of the marketplace. I really just want my card back the way it was, but that's spilt milk and no point in dwelling on that aspect.

Anyway- still haven't heard anything from PSA...still stewing..

I had a '15 CJ Hofer with a case that was cracked. Sent it in for reholdering and in doing so they bent it. It was downgraded to a 3 from a 5, and they said since it was in a cracked holder it wasn't their fault.

I had a card damaged by PSA during grading, lucky for me it was a T206 common Knight portrait they contacted me and gave me the value that was listed in their price guide for a PSA 4 which I thought was fair also returned the card which had a corner bent over that was not there when submitted. I believe that was back in 2013.

Had a '70 Topps Reggie Jackson in NrMt-Mt graded a "5" because of a ding in a corner that it did not have when submitted. I just chalked it up to experience, and basically ceased submitting raw cards, choosing instead to buy the cards I wanted already graded.

Interesting post,

This got me thinking, recently I sent in one of those low pop cards, thinking it had a shot at a 5, came back a three! Look at the lower left!

Is the juice worth the squeeze?

I had PSA damage a corner also...the same lower-left corner, actually. Sent it in raw, hoping for a 5.

same sub, lower left again! I thought this card was a 6!
