Ripped off by PSA

Bought a vintage hockey pack and pulled a Bryan Trottier rookie. Sent it in to PSA and it came back as not the correct size. What a joke this company is. Using Beckett or SGC from now on. PSA SUCKS!

So was it the correct size? If not, what did they do wrong exactly?

Before and after pics ?
Until then no one believes you.
Measures 2 1/2 x 3 1/2
And the wrapper next to the card please.
Who saves wrappers? That was thrown out.
Since you said you were "ripped off" how much of your money did PSA steal? Maybe show your card next to another from the same set, or did you throw those out too?
Sides looked trimmed.
Sorry. No wrapper no proof.
That wrapper is worth money
You threw out money.
can you put a pic up with that card next to a proper sized card. the big pic looks like the top sides are edge cut warp in but it may still be the acid from last night, so checking.
I have had cards I sent get min size. I resend later then they get slabbed. Had it happen on multiple occasions. PSA like all TPGs are inconsistent on most things. It is is not an exact science
ugh.. and that has been the same panzie suckup stuff heard for 25 years. Heh
it is isn't it ?? The easy way out to support or deny a 'grade' or other.
thanks for your 20 year aged insight rexvos .
heh heh
I have also had cards pulled out of packs directly myself come back as N6. It's frustrating and sucks, but they don't charge you, so there's at least that.
I've yet to try it, but if you compare the card to other cards in the set, and it really doesn't look smaller compared to them, try submitting it again.
This. I’ve had several (especially from the 70s) straight out of boxes/packs come back Min Size, resend later and get slabbed.
I believe / they are hard on big dollar cards in mint condition/ try again using the lowest dollar they charge
Does it still work like that? I thought their tech now detects resubmits in an effort to prevent fraud.

Sorry this happened to you. And I'm sorry for some of the clownish responses you received in this thread. As someone already mentioned, you can try again and it might get slabbed. I've personally had success going that route. Or, you can try a different service as you suggested.
His card is trimmed.
PSA got this one correct
That card should not be holdered.
Here is a non-trimmed one.
I have no dog in this fight but there is no way anyone can tell if either of those cards have been trimmed based on the pictures provided.
There is a tool that can be used on computers to measure. Suggest everyone look into getting one.
Undersized does not equate to trimmed.
And proper size does not guarantee it isn't trimmed.
You’re joking right, or you just forgot the “doesn’t always”.
Undersized happens top to bottom 90% of the time. Side to side is usually spot on.
His card appears short side to side.
I didn’t forget anything. I said it doesn’t “equate.” That means:
A.) Not every undersized card is trimmed
B.) Not every trimmed card is undersized
If the OP says he pulled the card from a pack, I have no reason to think he’s lying, and it is certainly not impossible that he did.
Bobby Orr was trimmed and undersized compared to Gretzky.
I don't have a dog in this fight either and I'm not a card guy, BUT I'm sure those cards were cut on a rotary slitting machine.
It's possible to get a Short or long card IF a slitting wheel is not exactly set at the dimension.
That being said...
Could be the guys picture but those edges sure don't look like square right angles.
I've opened a ton of packs through the years and pulling undersized (or oversized) cards straight from packs is not unusual. Frustrating, yes, but unusual, no. At least, you dont get charged...in cases where the variance is slight, however, you may get it graded if you try again. Not all graders are as strict with the variance.

This. Especially the part about not being charged. If you weren’t charged, how were you “ripped off”?

Yeah. I’ve had this happen many times on cards. Especially those from the 70s. Also seems like vending boxes have more this happens with but that just what I’ve seen. I’ve never been charged and always send them back to retry.
instead of throwing a temper tantrum, try asking a question , get educated on what happened, and enjoy the experience going forward.
If you insist on complaining about anyone, Topps ripped you off, not PSA
