Hey guys, I'm looking at my PSA scan completed today and I see this huge white dot here that wasn't in the initial scan nor in my raw photo of the card. Was thinking maybe it was dust but you can see the blue ink missing / ripped in the second picture. Did PSA damage my card? What can I do?

Backstory: Literally the biggest Bobby Witt Jr fan here in Taiwan. Had it all the way shipped from KC! (First time buying online and first time potentially grading) Plus, it's literally the most expensive card I own.

Question: First time grading a card and I’m not sure if it’s worth sending to PSA. I’m obviously a little biased since it’s mine... so I’d really appreciate some honest opinions on what grade you guys think it might get and whether you’d send it in.

My two main concerns are a small dent on the top left of the back and the infamous All Kings bottom-edge issue. (But the bottom-edge looks alot better than all the one's i've seen online. Everything else looks pretty clean to me but I’d love to hear what you guys think.

Thank you all and have a wonderful day!

My cards have been in assembly for almost two weeks now. They got to the assembly process on August 7th. I know they are super backed up, and a lot of people are waiting still to get their cards back. But when I pay express, I definitely feel like I should have my cards back by now. At the very least know what the grades are.

PSA,

This is a service no one asked for…and it’s a waste of time for those of us that don’t use it.

Send my cards back and stop letting randoms throw insulting offers at me nonstop…

Let folks opt out of this joke of a program

Hello. I have this Pikachu card, but am curious as to how this is a 10? Even with the naked eye there is visable dark spot on the pikachus forehead. Could it be a mistake that this got a 10 grade?

Just received this Adrian Beltre card in the mail, that I ordered off of eBay. When I put the cert number in my PSA app to log it, it showed the cert number was already taken by a Wembanyama card. The card and slab both feel/look legit, but I don’t understand how this is possible. eBay seller had good reviews too and didn’t seem fishy to me

Grading cards from my childhood cards. Always kept them in the Tin and only pulled to say my ooohs and ahhhs what do yall think?

I'd like to submit and try for a one. Sorry for the photo dump it's hard to catch the light right.

Thinking about buying this to send in since I can’t pull it for the life of me

got charged 25$ randomly on an 80$ tier order when my cards are still in grading

Psa has been on the go recently i went to QA in 5 days and its 1 step away from graded hopefully that pikachu come out a 10!!

As the title states I’m curious what this would grade with the amount of very heavy whitening on the entire perimeter of the card. My best guess is a 2-3 but I would love to hear from people who have more experience submitting non NM cards since that’s all I’ve ever submitted before. Thank you!

I submitted a Moonbreon that ended up getting a 6. I am by no means a professional grader however I know which cards have a shot at getting a 10. (Mainly pokemon). When I asked PSA to do an investigation on the submission I had to thoroughly explain the submission process to the investigator because he didn’t know about submission centers. He then explained they “cannot” pull video footage of the due to an undisclosed tech issue. I am getting a moonbreon returned raw, my grading fee fully refunded and $150 promo credit. The investigation has taken about 2 months with little to no contact throughout the process. The investigator alluded that legal action may get the video to be extracted but that’s not a route I’m able to go. So just be wary of when you submits your cards to PSA.

EDIT I suspect that one of the employees at the satellite office swapped my card for his. I’m not sure why but this post isn’t letting me add photos.

Second edit. first two pics are of the graded card, second set are of my card

Third edit: front and back

PSA: take detailed photos of everything you submit for grading.

For context I sent this card in to be cross graded at the end of April with the Regular service tier (at the time, 25 business days). It was supposed to be done early-mid JUNE. It’s now almost September and there’s been no update. Every time I call or write a email requesting support, I get the same generic “we’re so busy and it’ll be done” and whatever else they can spew at me. What do I do in this situation?

I have these two metal cards and I'm wondering if they seem worth grading. I sent them off through GameStop in February but they wouldn't grade them that way so I know I'll have to send them myself. Do they look at least 9 worthy?
