PSA holder for 'N' cards

vwtdi

With the popularity on N cards growing in leaps and bounds, isn't it about time PSA designs a holder that doesn't need a condom to keep the card semi stabile inside the slab?

Geesh, even the very popular sets (N28, N29, N162, N172, N184) that include baseball get no respect let alone the popular non baseball sets (N2, N19, N76, N88, N222).

A holder is LONG overdue, its time to stand up and be heard.

This is a huge problem that requires serious attention. PSA's Registry Set of the Year last year was a gorgeous N19 Allen & Ginter Pirates of the Spanish Main set; all 50 cards floating at odd angles in a standard sized holder. I, for one, have a ton of N cards that I'd love to holder, but not in a loose fit and not with a baggie. I think PSA is missing a great opportunity to maintain a stranglehold on turn of the century card authenticating, and all it requires is a single die cast to fit a standard-sized N card (slightly longer than a T206).


A number of us - Steve, Keith (the other Keith), Mike, etc. - have pushed for this before, but the time is ripe to pick up the flag again. The SMR just did a very good piece on Marty Quinn's non-sports card collection, and, although Marty specializes in 20th century cards, Allen & Ginter, Duke, Kinney, etc. are to nonsports what the T206s are to sports cards. They absolutely need respect and now is the time, with these cards taking off. As Marty points, you need look no further than recent Mastro auctions to see how much money is going to this genre of cards.

This is a huge issue - Carol, can you help get Joe's attention?

Here's a card from the Registry Set of the Year 2 years ago; the fit is abominable. These cards deserve better respect - and they get it across the street. But many of us would rather holder our cards with PSA. PSA is the #1 card grader, due in no small measure to us, the loyal customers.

HELP!!!

My complete PSA registry set of 1914 Carreras/Black Cigatette set of 50 cards "The Science of Boxing"

Just look, these are not holders, they are coffins. I'm soooooooooooooo glad someone brought this up again. This set alone cost me a bundle to grade.

Hello PSA, would u say these cards are a little bit "loose in their slabs"?

Well, so much for keeping these 92 year old corners "intact".

Thats a shame for those 1914 Carreras . Maybe you've seen this one (its being released very soon).

Wow. That's disgusting. This sucks because I just started collecting these turn-of-the-century cards and all I could think about was how fast I could get them into a PSA slab. If that's where they're going, I think I'll pass. I mean, those Carreras would probably be safer in a CS1. At least they wouldn't move around.

I wonder if they even read the nonsport forum. Is there any way to contact someone from PSA and place a formal request (or at least an inquiry about possible status)?

Could someone please PM the name of the company that does have proper holders for these cards. I think I know but I'd like to be sure.
