Come on. Can't PSA put this in a more fitting holder?

    Molds aren't cheap and they probably don't grade enough of them to justify the cost of a holder that size. It is BUTT UGLY though.

    You'd at least think that they could use a Bowman holder instead, or whatever they use for the Toleteros. Did you do lots of tipping and tapping to get it straight like that or is it firmly in that corner? Surprised that it's not floating all over the place.

    Take a look at the PSE holders.

    They would work here - and look good - but they are much smaller
    than the regular PSA holder.

    That is funny. And I thought the Topps Mini's looked out of place....

    Agree with Storm- they use coin holders for coins, why not use stamp holders for cards this size?

    I think that the comments by your fellow PSA collectors are funnier than anything I could dream up! Kudos!

    Point understood but if you're gonna be "in the business" then it should be done right.

    The topps minis look fine...so do the 48 Bowman's......i think that Ruth stamp would do nicely in the Bowman sized holder....

    i believe that Ruth is in the old style/type holder, and they have upgraded the slabs to fit multiple size cards without the baggies...

    It is the same thing with the Topps stamps. I have a 1974 stamp in a regular card holder. Have to tap and shake to keep right side up. Another stamp was returned upside down. It really is kind of sad that this junk is being sent out by the leader in grading. How come Carolj never pops in to offer an explanation on these posts. If anybody questioned the grade, she would be in here and they would be gone.

    Where is DABIGHURT when we really need him.

    "The topps minis look fine..."

    I was thinking the modern mini's, several of which I have seen on ebay in regular holders with lots of room. The 1975 mini's look awesome in PSA cases.
