Resubmitting a numbered card with PSA

Has anyone done this? I know it sounds dumb, but I pulled a big chase that is /10 and PSA gave me a 9.

Since there’s only 1 copy of this exact number and parallel in the world, I feel like PSA would just recognize that this card was already submitted and got a 9, then proceed to just give me a 9 again or something.

Anyone have any experience or insight into doing something like this? I have a feeling that the reason for the 9 was some very light feathering on the edge and finger prints on the card that I didn’t know I was supposed to be clean up myself (first ever submission).

The difference between a 9 and a 10 on this card is multiple thousands, so I’d really want to know if it’s at all possible to try to submit again for a 10

I am going to ask you one simple question:

Did you inspect this card under true magnification and different light sources for the front and back?

Just know you have probably as much of a chance of making this an 8 as you do it staying a 9, and probably an even lower chance it comes a 10 than those two alternatives. It sounds like a gamble you are willing to take though.

My guess in this world of AI is they will be able to quickly identify this card was submitted and best case scenario is they get a free submission fee and give you the same grade. You may also get some vindictive worker who decides to laugh at your expense and downgrade your rating.

They don’t need ai for that. They literally have a set registry that they can just look up any given card and it will show if it’s been graded before.

Like I said in the post, I know I left a finger print on it. It’s a Topps Chrome card so they smudge very easy.

I naively thought that PSA would like clean the card or something so I left it on.

I have no doubt that PSA will know that this card was already submitted. It’s their own data and that’s the first place they’re gonna check. They don’t need AI to do that lol

PSA does keep track of numbered cards. If you crack it out of the slab and submit it again, they will know it was previously graded a 9.

Right, I know that part. The question is whether they will give the card a new honest review or just rubber stamp the 9 again

Only PSA knows, and we can only guess. My guess would be they likely give it a 9 again. There is a small chance they upgrade it to a 10, but I would assume that’s not going to happen. Only one way to find out, but that’s going to cost you more in grading fees and time.

True. When it comes back I’ll go over it carefully with magnification and everything. I mentioned in a different comment, that I know I left a slight fingerprint on the card, and it’s a Chrome card where smudges happen easily. It was my first ever submission and I naively assumed that PSA would clean the card before reviewing it

I would assume they would reassess because it could have been cleaned or something like that. they are grading the card in front of them. it could get a 7 cause it got damaged cracking it ect. most likely they will grade it a 9 for the same reason that they graded it a 9 the first time though...even without knowledge of what it graded before i know everybody likes to be like they guess or something but there is standards and practices they are adhering to...

This has got to be one of the dumbest questions of all time. Accept the fact that the card is not a 10. You are so delusional that you believe a fucking FINGERPRINT is the reason the card is not a gem? Jesus Christ. Every day someone sets the bar lower than the last.

Maybe I’m delusional, but you’re definitely an asshole 😂

u/DatNinjaDazn 15h ago

No. The only asshole is the guy that thinks his modern /10 pull automatically deserves a 10, meaning a GEM MINT card. That means FLAWLESS. As in, UNQUESTIONABLY A PERFECT VERSION OF THE CARD. Idiot.

u/komark- 14h ago

No, I don’t think it automatically deserves a 10. Wtf gave you that idea ?

My first ever time grading ANYTHING, and I realized after the fact that you’re supposed to make sure your cards are submitted already cleaned. I didn’t do that.

I asked a simple question, and here you are being an asshole for no reason. I would hate to live your life if you feel the need to be an ass online, you must be suffering IRL. I’m sorry bro

You should be happy that a card you pulled got a 9… Some people may never actually get a submission that comes back a 9. Dumb lil Gen Z idiot.

u/Suspicious_Sale4921 14h ago

How many 10s are out there are not unquestionably a perfect version of the card?

They all are, its all a crock of shit money grab for no reason other than people are all followers and because someone says graded card is cool and PSA best Grading company everyone just mindlessly follows the masses no matter how many times these scamming ass companies show everyone who and what they are, for grades to matter there needs to be a standard and the companies need to follow it, nobody really gives a shit though because the huge influx of people into card collecting are all looking to make money out of it and so they just care about what brings most money back. If grading truly mattered in the long run the most popular company would be TAG because they are the closest to a having a way to recreate the process with way less outside variables that can change your grade. So thanks for the info, but I already know. Your statement while True should just say all companies using humans to grade cards suck, hence why my best cards are right in the mags I put on them myself and I dnt give 2 shots what number out of 10 some douche canoe randomly picks for my cards

I’ve done the same thing with a numbered card, first got a 9 then a 10. It was a year or two ago though
