Re-Holdering a card will PSA....

Was thinking about getting some very old slabs reholdered, $25 a little pricey, but may be worth it for some of the items in question. I collect mainly Gretzky cards, and there are some that are double sided where he appears on the back. Generally I do not like to buy those, but some are significant enough where I do. If doing a re-holder and I make the request to have the back on the front will PSA accommodate? Has anyone done this successfully?

I came across this issue with grading 1997 Bowmans Best Mirror Image baseball cards. PSA tends to constantly holder these cards backwards (there is a definitive front/back, subtle logos are the giveaway). Even though I collect the player on the back of some and PSA tends to holder them backwards, likely unintentionally, I always opt for the cards to be slabbed correctly. I indicate in the notes field to please make sure "player X" is facing front and also put the card in he card saver in the correct orientation.

my guess is, depending on the card, they may slab It in reverse if the card is one of those types by request. but my first instinct is even if the player you're collecting is on the reverse side, slab it correctly.

I once sent a sealed pack for holdering and the star card was showing on the back and so I sent a little sticky on the pack with a little sentence asking to show the star card on the front and they accommodated my request.
