Even with these prices, I expect looooooooooooooooooong lines for this service.

Coworker of mine submitted his PSA 4 1956 Topps Mantle (which is gorgeous) to get regraded thinking he would get better and got a PSA A. Needless to say he is drinking a few bourbons.

I told him since he is not selling just enjoy the card for what it is who cares what the slab says.

Sometimes, Jamie, you just gotta leave it alone, right ?

Just out of curiosity, did they refund him the difference in value due to the improper grade the first time?

I think they refunded him everything. I suspect that came after a short conversation showing him the original slab and pics. I am pretty sure they said it was due to a screw down from back in the day which I guess they did not pick up on originally.

He was with his 6 year old son, so maybe they did not want him to go away even more bummed being out $500 and a extremely diminished value.

He said the associate from PSA was very reasonable and nice about it.

OUCH the infamous N9 altered stock. .... There was a time when all my best cards I took to a show where kept in screw down cases for the most part I was careful not to tighten the screws. But obviously I know what an N9 is so I was not as good at it as I thought...

Zero chance that the collector in him takes, or even has the ability to take, your advice. This would also bother me. I collect cards, and not slabs, but turning a numerical grade into a scarlet A is frustrating.
