That was the first word that came to my mind, too.

I'm not sure how you guys came up with "hilarious'. I don't find something being ruined by a third party very funny. I feel bad for the OP. I'm sure he spent a lot for that and it's an uncommon item that has been devalued due to PSA's stupidity.

If it was something you sent in and they did that, would it still be "hilarious"? It just seems kind of like an inappropriate response.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just don't understand why you would think it was
hilarious. I don't see the humour in it.

He can speak better than most on this forum, and for himself, but I don't think he meant it as Hilarious like it's funny, more like it's hilarious because of their ignorance. I said something about that comment above but then thought about it. There is no way in heck any smart, vintage collector would think that is funny. If the do they are an idiot.

If that's the case, I apologize. Hilarious was the description that was probably the farthest thing from my mind when I saw this.

No comment, except to say that I find much (most? all?) involving the opinion sellers hilarious.

I would assume that part of why this thread exists in the first place is due to the negligence of the OP who MUST have forgotten to check the "do not randomly fold my item" box on the opinion seller website when initiating his opinion purchase.

That is truly terrible, OP. I hope they compensate you fairly.

I am surprised to see how many people are surprised, though. It's been clear to me for years that PSA doesn't care. How many times have we seen tobacco cards put in holders where they just bounce around inside (sometimes hugely expensive cards)....

In addition to the OP and his check, I also believe Adam should be fully reimbursed by PSA for ruining that Joe Louis signed item.

It is completely unbelievable, and unacceptable, that PSA, or any grading company, would do that to an item entrusted to them.

Thanks, Steve, but I bought it that way. I was not aware that the card unfolded until I got it, then I was faced with the dilemma of cracking it or not. I chose to keep it in the holder (and annoying) until a second example of the card surfaced years later and I was able to buy it and sell the slabbed (annoying) one. Still pending is removing that (annoying) GAI sticker...
