Is it possible for a card or ticket to move in PSA holder?

I recall that the card was damaged in one of the tests contrary to what others remember.

Back to looking >>



Thanks.

You may be correct, but for some reason I was thinking it was not damaged. Honestly, I can't be 100% sure since it's been so long ago that I seen that. I hope you can find it, so we can review. >>



I really can't be certain either so I guess we won't know till someone finds that link

Lawnmowerman and dizzle, I will do some searching as well. Probably later tonight once the Cardinals game is over. Gotta eat and get my baseball fix for the night, first.

Thanks for your efforts, guys. I hope one of us finds it.

Hey guys. The tix looks exactly like the Grover Alexander card except it's the bottom right hand corner that is wedged in and damaged. I got 2 messages today. The first from Mike, who has been nothing but a gentleman, saying he would except a refund as he already has a buyer for it lined up. The second from PSA. They told me that tickets do move freq. in the holders. Due to the large size in some tix, they have to put them in oversized holders which they said cause them to move quite a bit. They told me they guaran. the grade of them once they've been encapsalded and if I resubmitt it and they found it to be a lower grade because it moved and was damaged, they would but the tix back and their price. Whatever that means. I wish they would do what Stantheman said and used plastic sleevees to prevent this stuff from happening.

The key is to store you cards flat, especially multi layer vintage cards in high grade. If you have them upright for long periods of time in some sort of box, and move the box around often, every time it is set down or shook even slightly it will jar the card against the rail and the older cards (brittle paper) will actually have small pieces chip, dent, crack, or even sluff off. I have seen it quite a few times.

Its not necessarily only a PSA thing, Ive seen thin cards (T200, T222 especially) in SGC holders slide under the black insert and get damaged too.

Matt, i can see some edge wear from a severe shock (especially in modern cards with many layers of shine)....

but as you said "As you said Mark, the card had leeway and is not lined up perfectly with the damage because it obviously moved in the slab. Like I said, the tear is far-fetched but the egde damage he shows is right on.

Matt


THE TEAR IS FAR FETCHED..that is what i was saying, not that it is Impossible for a card to get slightly damaged from severe shock....(what would have hapened to a card that was dropped if it wasnt in the holder--it would have been much worse now wouldnt it) PSA doesnt say once the card is slabbed, it is indestructable....you still have to treat the slabs nicely....

BUT that still doesnt explain/prove how a tear was caused by the edge......

I dropped a card from the Empire State building and it embedded into the sidewalk.




No damage to the card.
