Anyone ever get a slab back that has a massive dot-scratch pattern on the back and the edges?
Won't rub off so definitely are scratches/etches..!

Oh boy. How can quality control let this out the door? Hope this is an isolated case. Sorry to see this.
Never mind..... it must be some sort of chemical reaction.....
I just laughed my a$$ off over your new avatar.
on a side note, ive also noticed a similar pattern on some slabs fresh from the PSA boxes due to the bubble wrap. it makes the little dots appear on the slabs. but they can be easily buffed away.

Yeah, unfortunately with these ones, I can basically file my nails with them!
At least unlike CGC no Newtons Rings.
If it's any consolation you now pay more than ever before for PSA to damage your goods or in this case your slabs. I'm sure they will re-holder and send them back sometime in 2023 or beyond.
Unless otherwise specified my posts represent only my opinion, not fact.
It appears almost fogged up but must be made from a roller or something mechanical to get such straight streaks. Doesn't show up in my scans and I didn't even notice until the sun hit them just right. Has anybody experienced anything similar?
I'm going to see if it will show up in a photo.

there was an issue a while back, which has been corrected, with the foam protective inserts psa was using inside the brown 20ct boxes. different pattern obviously, but same effect. and was not easily removable either.
This almost sounds to me like PSA could be getting slabs that are made from inferior plastic. I don't know if they're coming from China or somewhere else, but it should probably be looked into.

theyve prolly always have come from china, right? coulda just been a bad batch, especially w the shortages in raw materials and especially knowing theyve came from china. no need to call in columbo or lt. kendra just yet, i wouldnt think. 😉
Here's what I was talking about. Markings are on inside of top slab. Would this be something that PSA would replace? I've never had any problems with their customer service over the years but then again I've never tried to return anything.
they should definitely replace that.
eta: and weird, those are what the outside of the slabs used to look like when they were using those other foam protectors.
Thanks Blurry,
Cards looked great until around Happy Hour when the sun must hit them just right. Initially, I thought the tequila was giving me super vision.
