Need help with a PSA card

I'm looking for help on a PSA card that I bought, that I feel is not right. I'm not an expert on trimmed cards, but looking at it with a loop, 3 of the 4 sides have the same look and unique cut pattern. The 4th side looks to be cut differently.

I'm not here to bash. All the 3 big grading companies have its issues

I'm just looking for help. Can I send my card in for someone to look at ? Joe Orlando ? Has anyone ever heard of a case, where they have admitted they wrongly slabbing a card ?

    Hi, hello, how are ya? image
    Even good grading companies can make errors. There are other ways a bad card can get into a good holder. How about a scan. There are several members that are quite accomplished at determining the status of a card with a good scan.

    Sorry, I dont have a scanner & my camera doesnt do a good zoom-in job

    Basically, 3 sides all have chamfer angled edges, and the 4th is a straight 90 degree cut. Thats the explaination without providing a scan

    That doesn't sound suspicious to me, many of my cards can be described something like that. The card isn't by chance an OPC is it?

    Problem is that other non graded cards all have 4 sides that look the same
    Also, the card is a little short
    And the ends curve just a slight bit

    I dont know
    I just wanted to see if I can send it anywhere
    Probabaly not



    What year OPC did you have in mind ?

    Well that could be a problem for sure. You'll have to send it back to PSA for a review.

    What were hoping to get out of learning that your already slabbed as untrimmed card is actually trimmed? A refund from the seller? PSA? Something else?

    A call to customer service will answer all your questions.

    All anyone here can do (with what you provided) is speculate.

    I was hoping to learn if I was right or if I was wrong
    If I was wrong, then I would be happy to know so

    Hmm anytime I've ever called someone there they satisfied me.

    Maybe email Joe direct?

    Joe@collectors.com


    How much is this card worth?


    Good Luck.

    Thanks

    not a lot, but if you are in it for the hobby & not the cash, then it doesnt matter, right ?

    thanks for the info


    just to add, I'm not a PSA member & I was put on hold each time with my question
