This happen to anyone else? I'm debating whether it's worth sending back since it's on the back and not the front. Still, it irks me to look at it. image

    Goodness... sounds like a hairy situation that you can't just brush aside...

    Well, I should be thankful it doesn't look like pube I guess image

    I especially hate hairs when they are in my soup at a restaurant. Darn hairs!

    Glad to see they got rid of the sythentics!

    Are you sure it's not one of those "game-used" hairs that have become so popular recently?

    I hope it's not a card of Clarence Thomas from the Supreme Court Justices set!

    To the OP,

    I'd give PSA a call. They should reholder that for FREE.

    Graders should start wearing hairnets.
  • NickMNickM Posts: 4,895 ✭✭✭
    PSA will reholder that for free. The invoice is marked as a mechanical error. You pay only shipping to PSA (and if you drop it off to them at a show where they are accepting submissions, you pay 0). I have done this before on a misspelled name on flip (Snaguillen) and on a card with a hair inside (fittingly, Happy Hairston).

    Welcome to the PSA hair club. Any one who has submitted more then 25 cards gets one encased hair for free. The finger prints are what really get me.

    I had a friend who got a piece of Potato Chip back in one of his.
    Greasy finger on your PSA 9 1952 Bowman Mantle is such a sweet thought!

    ...and the winner is:

    My 1982 TT Ripken with what appears to be a pube. Yes, it is really sealed inside.

    Graded several years ago. I keep it like this for the laugh. btw..the card/hair got an 8 but thankfully no ST qualifier.

    Not sure what your pubes look like, but that appears to me to be a fibre off a sweater.

    And I agree that graders should be wearing hairnets if they don't already.

    How do we know the hair wasn't on the card BEFORE it was submitted? Just seems like people are always trying to blame PSA for everything. What next? PSA is responsible for hiding the WMDs in Iraq?? image

    Why I'm a hairy guy
    I'm hairy noon and
    (Nighty, night, night)
    My hair is a fright

    I'm hairy high and low
    But don't ask me why
    (Cause he don't know)
    It's not for lack of bread
    Like the Grateful Dead

    (Darling)
    Gimme a head with hair
    Long beautiful hair
    Shining, gleaming
    Streaming, flaxen, waxen

    Give me down to there (hair)
    Shoulder length or longer (hair)

    Everywhere, daddy, daddy

    Hair, hair, hair
    Hair, hair, hair, hair
    Grow it, show it
    Long as I can grow it
    My hair

    I let it fly in the breeze
    And get caught in the trees
    Give a home for the fleas in my hair

    A home for fleas
    A hive for buzzing bees
    A nest for birds
    There ain't no words
    For the beauty
    The splendor
    The wonder of my

    Hair, hair, hair
    Hair, hair, hair, hair
    Grow it, show it
    Long as I can grow it
    My hair

    I want it long, straight
    Curly, fuzzy
    Snaggy, shaggy
    Ratty, matty
    Oily, greasy, fleecy
    Shining, gleaming
    Streaming, flaxen, waxen
    Knotted, polka-dotted
    Twisted, beaded, braided
    Powdered, flowered
    And confettied
    Bangled, tangled
    Spangled, and spaghetti

    Oh say
    Can you see my eyes
    If you can
    Then my hair's too short

    Down to here
    Down to there
    Down to there
    Down to where
    It stops by itself

    Cause it stops by itself)

    You know, it MUST be a PSA/DNA thing. I bet that is one of Ripken Jr's pubes....but on that note, I wouldnt say you were so lucky to get that! EEEEK!

    I have what appears to be a pubic or nose hair inside a 1972 Football George Blanda IA card. I try real hard not to look too close to see for sure. I am going to send it back to PSA with a Preston Pearson mis labled card. Hey, it's not a problem, frankly I am surprised we don't get more items inside with the cards. Hotdogs are 4% rat droppings, spider guts and fly eggs. I'll take the occasional pube. imageimage

    I'll tell you, there's a whole untapped market here. Pubes, fingernail clippings, vomit, earwax, snot. How much would a Mantle used condom card go for? Millions?

  • yankeeno7yankeeno7 Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭
    HAHAHA...I doubt Mantle used any condoms. Maybe some "game used sheets" though! As big of a Mantle collector that I am, that is something I would stay away from!

    Don't ask me why; don't know!
    It's not for lack of bread
    Like the Grateful Dead; darling

    Gimme a head with hair, long beautiful hair
    Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
    Give me down to there, hair!
    Shoulder length, longer (hair!)
    Here baby, there mama, Everywhere daddy daddy

    CHORUS: imageimageimageimageimage

    Hair! (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
    Flow it, Show it;
    Long as God can grow it, My Hair!

    Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees (BUT NOT IN MY PSA HOLDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) imageimageimageimage

    Powdered, flowered, and confettied
    Bangled, tangled, spangled and spaghettied!

    O-oh, Say can you see; my eyes if you can,
    Then my hair's too short!
    Down to here, down to there,
    Down to where, down to there;
    It stops by itself!
    doo doo doo doo doot-doot doo doo doot

    They'll be ga-ga at the go-go
    when they see me in my toga
    My toga made of blond, brilliantined, Biblical hair
    My hair like Jesus wore it
    Hallelujah I adore it
    Hallelujah Mary loved her son
    Why don't my Mother love me?

    Many pubes and shards of plastic in my PSA days. Not surprising at all. I like when the whole 50-card invoice ships with a uniform spot on every holder right in the center of the card...great stuff.
