Graded pack labels with stars showing

I have a question about PSA graded wax packs that designate a star showing. Is that something that we need to note on our submission form? Or does PSA look at the front and backs of all packs and note if there is a player of prominence showing? Thanks, Tom

    Hey Tom, you need to note it on the submission form as they won't always note it otherwise. Good luck with the submissions!!!

    is there any trick (aside from opening) that makes it easier to read/identify through the wax?

    Some years are easier than others, if the wrapper color is light enough and the card is face out on back, you can usually gently press the wrapper down to discern the name.

    I think that it behooves the submitter to identify any star pack. Otherwise you have to rely on the eagle eye of the authenticator or grader--which really is not their job. You ID it--they OK it. You miss it--they probably do too.

    This is correct in that PSA will NOT note the star player showing through the back of a wax pack unless you indicate it on the submission form. Same is also true for cellos. OTOH, they will note whatever player you note on the submission form even if it's not a star. You could put "Gene Tenace on Top" on the submission form and they will put it on the flip, too.
