PSA REHOLDER SERVICE QUESTION

Just wondering if PSA will reholder this card for free. I know they will reholder if there are factual errors on the label. On this particular card, the label info is correct, but it looks like maybe the label was fed too far into the printer and the lettering is about a 1/4" down from the top. Sorry for the fuzzy scan - I should have used window cleaner instead of water. Thanks for any opinions.

  • No, they will not re-holder that card for free. It is not that bad - I have seen 1000's like that - a lot even worse. I would just live with it. But if it really bothers you that bad, you can pay $5 to have it re-holdered.

    BTW, I think it was a generous 9 with that print dot to the side of his right ear.

    I don't know. If it's an error, I'm sure they will fix it.

    That's an older flip. I notice the red border is different from the one they use now. That one has rounded inside corners and the current one is squared off.

    I wonder if on the older flips the print was that far down normally?

    Anybody have another example of an older flip like this?
  • Thanks. I didn't know it was that cheap to have it reholdered. I think I'll go that route. I have a lot of 9's with similar print dots. Not sure why some days the cards get bumped up/down for it. It makes up for my 86 Magic that got an 8 with no flaws.

    lawnmowerman,
    I asked the question about how many versions of labels PSA uses in an older thread last week. One of the members said they've seen several variations. He noted that the first labels had slashed zeros. Still no answer from PSA staff. I'm kind of disappointed with customer service on the boards.

    Its cheap to reholder it but it will cost you $15 each way for shipping.

    Not worth reholdering given the shipping charges.

    It won't cost $30.00 roundtrip.

    $15.00 from PSA yes. $15.00 to Psa no

    I think I'd leave it in the old flip anyway...people trust old flips...
