This isnāt a question or me looking for a solution just wanting to complain, so I hope this is allowed. If not I apologize.
I have graded cards with PSA two separate times and 2/3 of my cards have come back with debris in them. First time I did not notice until months later, making it outside of the 30 day window, and the second time I noticed immediately but they refused to fix it, stating that the largely noticeable debris didnāt affect anything. Whatās worse is the lucario looks like itās just a big scratch but itās actually just paper fuzz or something.
Iām not even upset that this affects value or anything, just that I canāt get it out and Iām too scared to crack and regrade. These cards are extremely important to me to because the reshiram I pulled while in Chicago for a System of a Down concert (my favorite childhood band), and the lucario is one of my favorite pokemon because Riolu is my favorite and the whole reason Iām into pokemon. I only started collecting collecting in July of 2025 and graded these because I wanted them to be safe and because the reshiram was my first time ever pulling a chase card. The way PSA acts just makes me feel a bit bummed I guess because it reminds me that a lot of people in this hobby just donāt care about anyone else even their customers.
The contact with PSA was a couple months ago and Iāve given up on it but Iām bummed again because Iām now wanting to sell my reshiram so I can get a few cards, including the gold lucario from mega and the Nās plan SIR (my favorite trainer). The thing is thought I feel like if I list the card on eBay no one will buy because of the blue dust speck inside the slab and if I try to sell at a con not only will I get much less money for it but they may say no because of the debris and I donāt want to just be dishonest with people and hope they donāt notice. Thereās a con I want to go to this month, or the one next month, and I want to try and get some of my chase cards at those but I donāt even have savings to use because I canāt work until Iām 18 and my birthday is this Friday.
Anyways, just wanted to complain while also confirming what Iāve seen a lot of people already say. PSA sucks. š
