    I'm building a 1968 and a 1970 Topps set. I have lots of 1970s and 1960s to offer in trade.

    Should be able to have it reholdered for the reholdering fee if it bothers you. I have the "sideway cards" slabbed both ways so I don't think PSA pays too much attention to that at the slanting stage.

    I agree that the front could go either way, but the back is clearly upside down.
  • Your going to have to pay to get that corrected. If you were the original sender, then I'm sure hat they would of done it at there expense however. Even though it might be only $5 to reholder - PSA loves to charges an arm and a leg for shipping and insurance WAY over the cost of what it really should be and THATS were it hurts so I would recommend that when you send this one in, to maybe add a few addidtional cards encased that may be slightly beat up to get them switched out as well so that the shipping/insurance wont seem to bad.

    On your Ryan that you purchased, I still need to get this one in that same grade but centering is key for me. Yours is pretty nice.

    I would think PSA would eat the costs given it was there error, but maybe not. There has been quite a few PSA 8's out there lately, I think I got a decent price on it at 1315.

    Yes but as I had explained, you weren’t the original person who sent it in. If the original person didn’t return it back to them shortly upon receiving it back, then PSA such as any other company/business will assume that the person was satisfied and it’s now a done deal. Unfortunately, you will have to pay to have this corrected. Hopefully I'm wrong. Call them and let us know what they say on this matter.
  • This has happened to me before and they said (after many emails) they would fix it (at their expense) under mechanical error. I never did send them in because of the hasstle, I just lived with it.

    Does this phrase rub anyone else the wrong way? Mechanical error? As if the slabbing machine jammed or something and somehow the card flipped upside down? They should call it "some person screwed up error" because that's what it was.

    I have probably twenty cards I need to send in because: (1) The year of the card is wrong on the flip, or (2) The variation/error is wrong on the flip, or (3) The card is stuck under the plastic on one side of the slab, which actually is a mechanical error (maybe). The other two.......
