Any interest in piggybacking on a cracked/damaged slab sub to PSA??

[bobbyw8469]

This is one of my rarest subs. Last time I did this was over 5 years ago. I have some cracked slabs I would like to get repaired though. Is there any interest for this kind of sub?

[bobbyw8469]

No interest at all???? 10-4.

Bobby, I just sent you a PM.

How much is it? I think I have a cheap Cobb with slab damage, I will have to look for it.

I've got 1 or 2 that are potential candidates.

I think my only problem is that I'm not convinced that I want to deal with the potential vagaries of the process. As I understand it, the process includes re-evaluating the card, which could include a downgrade.

They only re-evaluate the card if the case is cracked open or the damage to the case hurt the card.

What if the crack is sort of in the middleish part of the slab?

Could just be my paranoia, but it seems well within the realm of possibility that they would knock it down.

It is well deserved paranoia. I have personally had them do really silly stuff before on a reholder. They mislabeled one card twice and charged me both times they got the label wrong.

Only if the crack is "compromising".

Sounds like a clear standard! I'll have to crack out the slabs in question and evaluate just how compromising the damage really is.

[Insert joke here from the anti-grading cabal regarding the pressing need to irrevocably break all cards free from their slabs.]

This is the Cobb I have. Are you doing any other subs? I have a couple junk wax cards I want to grade.

No. No other subs. The specials have been trash lately.

Hi Bobby, I have 3 tall boys to reholder. They are old flips that are not cracked but they are variations that are recognized by PSA now that were not when they were originally graded. I have submitted cracked cases and label corrections together in the past to PSA in the same reholder order with no issues but I am not sure how mixing sizes in holders would work. Will tall boys work in this sub or are you doing standard size cards only?

just came here to say your username is dope... based off the tribe called quest album i presume?

[MidnightMarauders]

Thanks, yep love Tribe

The reholder sub is $13 per card. Tall Boys ARE NOT allowed at that price. While I do have a tall boy I want reholdered, I refuse to pay the $30 that they want to reholder it.

[MidnightMarauders]

Thanks for the clarification. I did some tall boy reholders last October for a lot less then $30.00 (guess I should have sent a few more then I did) but it must have been a monthly special. Yikes, I agree the current tall boy price is too much.

I would be wary, as I have posted over the years. I know this board refuses to believe damage to a slab can warrant a regrading, but it does happen.

[bobbyw8469]

It all depends on the placement and severity of the crack. I'm not worried about it.

[perezfan]

Does it have to be something unintentional, like a crack or chip to the slab? Or can it be an intentional eyesore created by PSA… such as a crumpled baggie, tilted card or upside-down Colgans Chip?

When they don’t have the correct slab on hand to fit the card, they should re-holder it for free. Guessing they won’t do that, but is there any guarantee they won’t just do the same sloppy job of holdering?

I would be very leery of this as well, especially if you have a card with a compromised case that wouldn’t grade as high as it did when it was first graded.

Definitely interested in reholdering a few relatively low dollar ones. Do they allow multiple eras to be submitted at once?

Yes but they all have to be standard size. No tall boys or larger.

Okay, great. Sending you a PM.

I have a few cards I want to get reholdered, but they're not damaged slabs, just old labels. Do you know what the max value is for the service level you're planning to use? And when you'd need the cards in hand by?
