Like Tim said, not unavoidable but the risk is definitely always present. Even a well stuck, whole piece of gum can shatter and/or become dislodged the way they throw boxes around and load pallets onto those courier trailers. I definitely wouldn't send in wax packs if you despise gum pokes.
What is 100% unavoidable and what PSA should be embarrassed about is the damage they are doing to wax packs by cramming them into the holders. I'd much rather have a PSA 9 pack with gum tears than a PSA 9 pack that looks like this...
This is my nightmare. Pack looks good on the front, but FUBAR on the back with popped seal, or actually folding the wax on the back to fit it in. I would be so pissed if mine came back that way, which is why I have refrained from sending any regular-sized packs.

From the pics the pack originally looked like an 8 minimum and a plausible 9 - and PSA treated what was a museum piece worse than if it was 90 Fleer.
As much as i want them in the nice PSA pack slabs, I'll keep my Mid non-sports 60's Wax and early 70's Baseball cellos in my flat file cabinets drawers thank you very much.
Boy, that’s a real shot at 90 Fleer out of nowhere Mr. Clavin.
IMHO 90 Fleer regardless of Sport is the poster child for massively overproduced junk wax. It's the Junk Waxes, Junk Wax

As with a card, never purchase a graded wax unless you are provided pics of the back
