PSA damaged card, anyone with experience?

[jb67]

I was lucky as there was no damage to the card. I knew when sending in that if it was damaged they could have lowered the grade. I was certain it had to have been damaged but they deemed it ok. I could not see any signs of damage when they returned it. Wishing the best of luck that your card is not overly damaged.

If this is SGC, everyone will be nailing their ass. PSA got special priviledges

I have a lot of psa graded stamps ie 1955 Golden stamps. The holders are not so great and the stamps often slip under the insert during shipping. You can probably gently tap the case on the perpendicular axis and the card can be slid back into position. I do this often.

That was my 1st thought but after some gentle, and then some not so gentle tapping, without budging I took a closer look and it was apparent that it was pinched into the seal.

In my opinion, PSA should be paying you full value for this card, (or what you paid if more?) fix the problem/re-slab and let you keep the card.

That's likely wishful thinking on my part as we all know PSA doesn't seem to operate that way, but, imo, that would be the proper thing to do.

Good luck.

And this is why I don't like third parties handling cards of mine just for this reason and also relying on Fedex UPS and USPS for getting the cards to and from the the third parties, just to many things can go wrong. I rather go in person and wait just wishful thinking

"After further review. we at PSA have determined that your Babe Ruth card is properly slabbed, and was not damaged whatsoever (by us)."

In terms of being painfully obvious, it rates about the same as AJ's altered Jackie Robinson Leaf card. So would not surprise me if their actual response is similar to the above.

Hope they compensate you in an appropriate and timely manner, and best of luck getting them to admit any liability for damages!
