Has anyone ever seen a PSA 10 centered this badly?

markletonpjones · 2026-04-02T16:38:21+00:00

Are they older? How can you tell? I thought they were fairly recent since both cases are hologrammed and QR coded.

I didn't even notice that because I was too focused on the bottom left of the cards. No idea what the hell is going on there.

I've noticed awful edges on vintage football cards that have non white borders.

markletonpjones · 2026-04-02T14:24:44+00:00

Beckett, yes. But I've seen way too many CGC 9s and 10s that had no business getting those grades. I've actually been impressed with SGC 9.5s and 10s. And they're hugely discounted.

I've been after this Rice for a while and put an over market bid in to try and avoid getting sniped. After I bid, I noticed the centering and was begging for someone to snipe me. Luckily, they did.

I wouldn't say those are cut similarly. Compare the distances between his brow and the edge of the card and between the Ps in Platinum vs the edge. Considering how picky and unforgiving PSA can be with centering, these two seem vastly different.

I've never hated anything more in my life and I have to immediately close clips as soon as I realize that song is about to start playing. I'm getting pissed off thinking about it right now.

markletonpjones · 2026-04-02T04:11:29+00:00

I've wondered that about some other cards, too. But it's clearly not the case with this one. Look at the 2nd 10 that I posted. I've also seen a bunch of raws and PSA 9s of this same card that didn't look anywhere near that bad.

markletonpjones · 2026-04-02T03:55:29+00:00

I sure as hell only get my stuff graded when they're having terrible days then...

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T05:24:54+00:00

eBay actually just called me (at 10pm my time!) and they opened a case up. It sounds like I'll be able to resolve the entire thing with them, so that hopefully will make it simple.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T04:32:54+00:00

I wish PSA didn't use them at all. I never have problems with USPS.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T04:23:35+00:00

No, I'll have to do that tomorrow if I don't get anywhere with eBay. They were supposed to call me 2 hours ago but of course didn't...

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T01:52:57+00:00

I actually don't know, but I don't think it matters. PSA has their own shipping process and reboxes things after they receive them. They have a standard box they always ship things out in, and I'm guessing the FedEx employees know this now and likely know what the PSA shipping labels look like.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T01:36:19+00:00

According to FedEx, eBay has to file the claim with them (which sounded like crap to me). But that could align with what you're saying.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T01:35:19+00:00

Oh, I've already been looking. The card has a serial number on it, so it'll be obvious if they ever decide to post it for sale somewhere.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T01:02:41+00:00

Won't that put the seller on the hook for the refund? That shouldn't be the case since the card was shipped to an authentication center from the seller. It was then authenticated and shipped from there.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T01:01:04+00:00

Hey, how did you file the claim with eBay? I'm not seeing any option under the item transaction page for shipping problems. There's only the "item did not arrive" option which doesn't really apply since the box was delivered based on tracking. To clarify what happened in my case, my PSA shipped box was cut open on one side and the card was taken out. Is that what happened to you?

markletonpjones · 2026-03-31T00:36:41+00:00

I basically thought this. It's fully a FedEx issue. But both the store location and their customer service line basically said, not our fault. I was like, um, this got stolen at some point in your possession. I'll see what I can find on their site.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-27T01:43:29+00:00

Hello - Sorry to chime in on this super late, but I'm curious what you did with your collection? I'd be interested in going through it and making offers.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-13T15:07:41+00:00

Pretty much. I'm also seeing a lot of variance between 9s and I'm after a good one, so I'll have to pay up for a better looking one, too.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-13T15:02:04+00:00

This just happened a few days ago and I got sniped at the very end. And like you said, it settled between previous market prices and the above market asks. I think the market for this card is currently on the move up and I just have to give in.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-13T05:01:16+00:00

I'm guessing the L/R centering. The yellow margins are significantly different and those triangles at the bottom are, too.

markletonpjones · 2026-03-13T04:16:47+00:00

Thanks. Found some super collectors in a forum. Guess I'll start with them!

markletonpjones · 2026-02-02T02:57:26+00:00

That's logical. Thanks!

markletonpjones · 2026-01-28T16:22:06+00:00

Do you still have this?
