Ok who's right PSA grading or Me?

rtimmer

As biased as the title sounds I'm actually hoping PSA is correct.

I bought the pack on the left paying a pretty penny but the 1991 Favre Super Bowl card is worth $325 in PSA 9 so I felt I got a fair deal......that is until I bought the pack on the right for much less and really didn't noticed a difference between the two. The regular Favre is a $55 PSA 9 card so I started researching the difference in the two cards (yes, probably wise to do that before I bought the pack, but I didn't have internet access and put my trust into the PSA labeling). Turns out the Super Bowl cards I now believe came in clear cello packs and not the green black packs I had bought.

Here's where it gets interesting and I want your opinion on whose wright..... I sent 5 what I believed were PSA mislabeled Items in and they agreed that the other four were indeed all mechanical mislabeling errors but the Favre Super Bowl pack was correctly labeled. Let me know what you think and I'm hoping an expert can chime in here and finally put my mind at ease.

Hey Ryan I feel for you, the Super Bowls cellos were in fact clear packs. I'll post a pic of mine with Favre on back. There have only been two graded.

I have no idea how PSA could have labelled that as they did.

Here is a link to a Super Bowl cello

Can you return it to the seller?

Hey Ryan took me a few days but picture as promised of a Super Bowl cello pack.

Oh yes that's what I thought they looked like. Great pack by the way!

Still find it odd that PSA can't tell the difference in the two especially when they had been told I thought the labeling was wrong, but what else can I do? I wonder if they are intentionally denying the error because I mentioned when I sent in the question that I think I paid too much for the Super Bowl Favre labeled pack and they just don't want to take responsibility for their mistake? Oh well I guess I will never know.

In the end, it's a mechanical error. The seller probably knew what he was selling, but the buyer should be aware also. They will take responsibility and will re-holder it and correct the flip.

Look at this PSA label goof up it cost this seller $1,000



This Ruth is a PSA #53 worth about $2,800 but was labeled #181 so the seller screwed up because they were probably a novice in sports card values and looked at SMR prices for a #181.

Yes I agree I should have know better what I bought but I collect a lot of baseball and basketball packs and this was my first football purchase. But the point of the thread is that I have asked PSA to correct the label showing them the same scan here along with the back scan and telling them I believe it to be a mechanical error and not a Super Bowl cello. Yet they insisted that the pack is the Super Bowl cello and correctly labeled and I just found that mind boggling.

Here I am volunteering to have my pack labeled as a much less valuable pack but they are insisting that they are correct when really I think they aren't.

Ryan, I would try emailing Joe directly on this, as I doubt customer service is equipped to address this error properly.

PSA is taking applications for a new position. Once they fill the new position maybe you can hit the new guy/gal up to research
your situation. It will be his job according to the published job requirements. Or as Tim says contact Joe Orlando direct.

"Below is quick summary of the essential duties associated with the position and the required qualifications:

Responsibilities:

• Identify trading cards and their varieties."
