Sorry, about crappy image this the picture I got from PSA. I tried to catch it at post office but apparently already refused and mailed back. Has this ever happened to anyone else? this is side of box

Yeah, I had a package like that when it arrived at psa. Thankfully all the cards inside were still packaged securely so no cards were damaged.

it looks like a hand reached in to take stuff out {to me}; I won't know for sure until I get it back friday. Am I just panicking?

Sorry to see this. I'd be concerned too. Would you want to devulge it's contents? Good luck to you!

there was some nice stuff in there; many nice commons from 49,50,53, there were 1939 playball samples commons. It was mostly pre 1956 commons, minor stars, but nice clean stuff I had for years and was waiting to grade. It was insured but not for enough if I have to replace it at todays market prices.

That totally blows big-time. Hopefully everything is ok.

X2!

Really, one of my biggest concerns as well sending cards in, and I'm up here in Canada.

Just a general question, as I've never sent anything to get graded: when you send them, is the name (PASS, SGC, etc.) actually in their address on the package? If so, it seems like a flashing beacon for theft.

I agree, as more people get to know the hobby and the potential money involved with it, the more chance of something like this happening.

I will wait to travel to a show where PSA is grading onsite!! Good luck.
