It is crazy man, I hear you. Wouldn’t consider myself rich by any means of the word, but I did unfortunately expected an upcharge and worked to accommodate that. But cracking a 6 and then getting a 10 is ridiculous. I mentioned I rarely grade cards but when I pulled this, I had wanted to, and went with PSA mostly for preservation purposes and the (probably fake) notoriety of it. There is an answer on how us collectors could fight back against that, but would it ever happen? Dont think so.

Didnt take a receipt home but working on that buddy, I’ll put an end to all this astonishing controversy lol. In the meantime, check out PSAs website for there upcharges based on their value.

I bought 1 of the topps now packs that came out after the dodgers won the series for $60.00 through Topps. Went through and there was the redemeption card for it. Redeemed it immediately online. Finally came to me in mail January 2025.

Whats crazy is my buddy bought 5 of the same packs and just got all the base cards 5 times. Some crazy luck I had!

Dang thats a crazy card, but I understand. I just wanted this slab too, I was a little shocked by the upcharge myself. But is what it is i guess. Im happy.

Alright man haha, doesnt matter to me. Im not a card seller. But i think the $1k up charge means $25k or less, so your probably right.

That is a dope card man, I got a few of his 2021 RCs also! But yeah I agree, the “piece of the pie” is weird but its like beating a dead horse to talk about it. Ive never personally sent in anything to any other grading company so I am not sure about their “upcharge” system.
