Question after first submission

CARDSINLOSANGELES

Hello all. Nube here.



Submitted a bunch of cards. Most of the grades make sense (although some a bit disappointing), EXCEPT this one.



Does this look like a VG 3 card? Even just comparing to the 4s, 5s, 6s, and 7s I got on the rest, it does not seem to fit PSA guidelines. I just spent 10 minutes with a loupe and there are no hidden wrinkles. I did not specify no qualifiers.



VERY confused. So:



1. Does it look right to you?

2. Is there any option other than just cracking it out and paying them to do it again? Will they accept a request to look at something they already graded?

If I had to guess, the small portion on the top right edge would deem it a PSA 3. I had one of the Topps micro come back with a similar result.

Could that be a small pencil mark on the back upper right corner? If not, that's a crazy grade.

Right edge, blue area, next to the circular Yaz photo. Hard to tell given the small size/resolution of the scan, so just guessing, but that looks like a possible dent... the start of some paper loss. May have been viewed like rubber band damage... that would take it down a few grades.

Welcome to the boards and welcome to the flip game. You need to crack and resubmit. Good luck.

For the millionth time


MK and MC are qualifiers that will still be placed on a card even if "No qualifiers" are specifically asked for.

How do u crak it open ?
BEST WAY

Very carefully!! Use some nice wire cutters and a screw driver. Clip all 4 corners and gradually pry open all around until you can pop it in half. Might want to do the corner clipping in plastic bag as you will have a lot of tiny pieces flying every where.

Also just google how to crack a psa case and you will find videos.

Materials: Hammer, sandwich baggie, flathead screwdriver, CS1
1. Place upper corner of slab in sandwich baggie and hammer on hard surface
2. Be thankful you used the baggie so shards didn't fly everywhere
3. Knock off remaining loose shards
4. Insert flathead and twist until it pops (wide, thin flatheads work best IMHO)
5. Repeat step 4, working your way around the slab as necessary
6. Throw top of slab in baggie, flip bottom of slab over and catch card
7. Place card in CS1
8. Save flip in pile to send to PSA eventually to clean up the pop report
9. Remainder of flip in baggie, close baggie, and discard

I am glad they responded because I haven't cracked a new flip yet.
