If you wouldn't mind: show PSA the scan in an email and see how they respond and post the response here.

Thanks.

[MENTION=11337]The Collector[/MENTION] - I'm assuming you purchased this on eBay or something and when you got it in person you realized this? Or you submitted it but it was damaged between when you sent it and then got it back? Just curious... looking forward to seeing what PSA says to your email! Good luck.

I found your auction on eBay where you bought it, even with the enlarged photo on the page you can't tell it's as bad as your scan shows - all you can see is the little white fleck past the N on eBay.

The interesting thing to me is that it was sold by 4_sharp_corners, a seller with over 100,000 PSA graded cards on eBay that can be had as low as $1.99. PSA's lowest posted bulk rate is $7/card for 100+. I think 4SC submitted a U-Haul full at once to get whatever rate they must get! And it appears PSA must have tried to grade all 100K in about a week in order to grade something like that a 10. Anyone know these guys? I call shenanigans.

4SC should be familiar to any player collector here, they're the eBay seller that make you say 'why would someone spend $8 to get a 2001 base card worth $0.75 graded??' while searching.

Yup, they're allowing me to return it for a refund. Only a $21 card so not that big of a deal, I am just mainly concerned that PSA slabs have the potential to have the card damaged in transit. I'd never run across this before. Or it was graded in this condition and didn't come across in the auction photo.

Let me play a little devils advocate....

What if PSA didn't really grade THAT card? Is it possible that 4SC has the ability to swap out the cards? This wouldn't be something we haven't heard of in the past.

Glad you're getting your money back.

My mind went ever further...what if the whole slab was fake? Make a copy of a legit Gem Mint 10 label for that card inset whatever quality card you want into the holder. Probably far fetched, but no more than than card being graded a 10.

NOTE: I do not know those guys and am NOT accusing them of anything. It is just that when I saw that, I could not help but think there was something unusual going on.
