Glad it works for you. I just tried this app for ios and it's horrible. The scan comes up "not found" multiple times, and then will sometimes load 2 or 3 wrong certs before it finally finds your card. I think it's easier just to use the QR code outside of their app to go directly to the PSA website. Some of the older, barcode only slabs would not come up for me in this app at all, but will if you go to the PSA website and enter them manually.

For good measure, I was looking up some SGC certs today too and their site is equally terrible. They did themselves no favors with the various different serial numbering formats they have used over the last 20+ years. The older ones you have to input both that, then the grade and player name, and it takes forever.

The good news is I didn't come up with any true "missing / not in database" slabs in my collection. Whew.

If you are stuck on a long boring conference call, it might be worth juxtaposing some of the numbers in the PSA search bar to see whether you can find the card. Maybe if they just got two numbers switched, they’d be willing to re-slab it for you for free.

Did you pay cash or by credit card? I agree with the others that nothing looks suspect about the card. If you paid via credit card, you may be able to check your payment history, identify the seller, and see if they submitted it themselves and have anything that you can use in arguing with PSA. At the end of the day, it’s annoying but you probably own a legitimate PSA 5 card so it is what it is.

It’s fine. It’s obviously a screw up by PSA - they recorded it wrong in their database. As usual the Collins guy with the correct take.

With their new Authentic grades did they state why it was only graded as Authentic?
