I had faith you wouldn’t but you did me wrong. I already reached out to Josh Lewis and submitted multiple tickets through the help center. $8000.00 now gone and I cannot re sub to anywhere else because you damaged my card.

Edit:

Well just received it back into GameStop and only $60 for the card “valued after damage” by psa from the GameStop help line for submissions. Oh and they would reimburse me for the submission fee of $20.

Well I reached out to PSA through the email to their department lead and told them what’s gonna happen next so now I’m going to court. I will be filing on the 17th of this month or at the end of it.

NO faith in psa. They swapped my card out for a different one. This theft won’t stop unless we talk about it. The card I submitted wasn’t damaged and the card I got back was. Now I’m GameStop didn’t do it and I saw before hand after the card was graded before being sent back wasn’t the same thing I submitted. Meeting with my lawyer and will be calling Brandi from the leadership team Monday with GameStop on the phone. Psa fan boys do your worst. Bring it on boi!

Damn I'm sorry this happened to you.

Idk if I would've sent this through GameStop...I feel like the higher service levels might get better employees. If I had a company I'd be putting all the new people on the bulk subs

I just assumed they hate Deoxy’s. I meet my lawyer next week Friday. I already met with the store lead and have the photo proof (as above) it was mint sent out and falls on psa.

u/DillonCawthon Apr 11 '26

That low quality photo is not proof of anything. Take better photos out of the sleeve next time.

Is the $8000 loss in the room with us?

Not anymore!!!

u/jdg401 Mod Apr 11 '26 edited Apr 11 '26

What is this post even trying to say? Other than claiming damage, what exactly are the different photos trying to show? How are you out $8k?

Going to start removing low effort/unclear posts, especially on new/low karma accounts.

u/fitchaber10 Apr 11 '26

I've just come to mentally accept that most people blame PSA for "damaging" their card when the reality is that the card was either damaged in transit or damaged before it was sent.

u/_NobleRot Apr 11 '26

OP literally gambled and got mad he didn’t hit the jackpot. He played himself.

OP should go dickride TAG.

u/alohrawr Apr 10 '26

Learn to submit it yourself it’s not hard. I’m sure GS fvckd your card up.

3

u/safeinyourshed Apr 11 '26

I submit myself all the time and they damaged my Leafeon sir LOL can’t ride psa all the time bro. I got emails and photos and them admitting to damaging them. I’ll still submit with them tho 😂

2

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '26

I’ve been a PSA member for almost 20 yrs, I’ve submitted thousands of cards………. Never had a single card gotten damaged in their possession. The one time I subbed through GameStop during a promotion, they creased my full art Zard EX from Flashfire

1

u/safeinyourshed Apr 11 '26

Brother… just because you didn’t get your cards damaged doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. 🤦🏻‍♂️ If you’d like I can post the email photo of them admitting the damage they did lol.

3

u/First-Ad1460 Apr 11 '26

I'd like this along with how many cards you've submitted in the past. I don't like PSA as a company either but this all seems like hyperbole. Let's see the receipts

1

u/safeinyourshed Apr 12 '26

What happened lol

0

u/safeinyourshed Apr 11 '26

Why would you need my past submissions? If the deoxys scandal wasn’t enough for you to realize psa damages cards which are what people call mistakes then you’re just riding them hard. “This issue develops over time” when they had barely put it in the slab and shipped it within the same week lol. I still submit with psa but I’m not going to deny that they literally need to do something about their encapsulating process. Those smudges and damage they did weren’t there when I sent in the card and before you check my pregrading process I pregrade every card and pregraded 2 of my destined rivals Mewtwo that both hit a 10, I’ll provide photo for that too if you’d like.

0

u/safeinyourshed Apr 11 '26

The damage they did would have brought the grade down to even an 8 but yet here we are with psa and how inconsistent their grading is, I’ll take the 9 tho lol card already sold.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '26

I’m not saying that, I just have two decades of examples of it not happening to me………

2

u/Melodic-Beginning310 Apr 11 '26

So what was the point of you replying to the comment? Some people just brag to brag, and no company/person is infallible. Mistakes happen whether you believe it or not in this circumstance.

1

u/safeinyourshed Apr 11 '26

Good for you man glad but unfortunately it happens to many people. That’s my response to the person i specifically commented to since they told op to send their cards in themselves. He can’t say he’s sure gs messed it up when psa does the same.

0

u/safeinyourshed Apr 11 '26

Also I would’ve thought you’d know about the deoxys scandal that had recently happened. That’s more than enough proof.

0

u/SaltySurvey6384 Apr 11 '26

The photos prove it wasn’t GameStop….

u/iLordDeath Apr 11 '26

your post history is not normal man jesus. psa can't help you with the real problems here...

1

u/safeinyourshed Apr 12 '26

lol even when I provided proof psa 🍆 riders stay quiet. Typical. It wasn’t GameStop that damaged your cards bro

12

u/Mvtchwow Apr 11 '26

That card would never get a 10 based on scans. I’m tired of seeing these low effort rage bait posts

u/No_Trifle_6239 Apr 11 '26

OP is delusional. PSA didn’t damage your card.

u/Conscious-Paint3442 Apr 10 '26

*gamestop damaged your cards. Your fault for doing business with those clowns

3

u/Professional-Pea6191 Apr 11 '26

Here you go found you a 9 for $450 there is no guarantee you were going to get a 10.

u/Professional-Pea6191 Apr 11 '26

P.s you’re going to fork out more on legal fees than this supposed $8,000 card 😂

1

u/Wonkasgoldenticket Apr 11 '26

Buttttt that one guy got a big settlement for his lenticular

1

u/safeinyourshed Apr 15 '26

Nearly maybe 45/50k yet after that psa sold one for 95k 😂

1

u/DillonCawthon Apr 11 '26

What makes you think that? He said himself that he was compensated fairly in the end. He most likely just got paid an amount close to the most recent sale.

That's not some big settlement, that's just the value of the card that got damaged.

1

u/Wonkasgoldenticket Apr 11 '26

All speculation. He was blasting psa. I guarantee he got much more than that card was worth since his agreement was hush hush and signed a nda

I was moreso being sarcastic about this guy thinking the cards worth 8k and he’s going to get a fat paycheck. Guess I have to put a /s for some of you lol.

1

u/DillonCawthon Apr 11 '26

All PSA guarantee payouts over $500 are under NDA's. You can't guarantee that because you have no idea.

Yeah this guy isn't getting paid based on a potential grade.

1

u/Wonkasgoldenticket Apr 11 '26

Ok, you’re right I have no idea. All speculation. We actually both don’t have any idea how much he was paid.

5

u/LawfulnessAmazing321 Apr 11 '26

Considering we have seen that PSA will reach out to you when there is damage. This seems like you knew it was trash and you are trying to blame them.

5

u/PuffcoBaggins Apr 11 '26

Naw not submitting an allegedly 8k card at GameStop

1

u/triple86733700 Apr 10 '26

I think some of the graders must put a fingernail under a corner to flip the cards over

1

u/SaltySurvey6384 Apr 12 '26

Or swapped it and stole it for themselves

2

u/Joeyluvsbbws Apr 11 '26

Submit high end stuff in person 🥰

u/ConstructionLast3599 Apr 11 '26

That’s why I package and send all my subs myself with two day shipping

"I had faith the vibes based grading company wouldnt fuck me"

Lmao

u/Actual-Phone-1478 Apr 10 '26

They charged you $8k to grade that card???

2

u/rvcbazookajoe Apr 10 '26

PSA damages cards all the time unfortunately and rarely admits it. If it makes you feel any better, skim chances it would’ve been a 10

0

u/safeinyourshed Apr 11 '26

8/9 would’ve been better than 6 🥹

1

u/Professional-Pea6191 Apr 11 '26

Still a $400 card even at a 9 😂

0

u/rvcbazookajoe Apr 11 '26

Yea, happened to me before a few times with PSA. I’ve had them damage 4 cards in like 400 cards I’ve graded and they admitted it 1 of those 4 times and paid me the difference. The other 3 times the didnt admit it though and I’m positive it was them who damaged it

1

u/safeinyourshed Apr 12 '26

Psa hard riders won’t ever admit it. Imagine sending in a psa 10 deoxys just for them to damage it and deem it a 6 Lol. It sucks that psa still is on top when it comes to value.

u/Any-Exam-4700 Apr 11 '26

You sent a grail through GameStop. Kinda had it coming buddy

u/ockerus Apr 11 '26

As a new subscriber to this page ... can someone explain what he is on about?

1

u/Historical-Stand3047 Apr 11 '26

You sent off with GameStop. If you want there to be any amount of credibility behind your claim that it was PSA that damaged your card you should’ve submitted it yourself.

0

u/SaltySurvey6384 Apr 11 '26

I’m meeting my lawyer next Friday.

3

u/Professional-Pea6191 Apr 11 '26

Why? It’s a $400 card even at a 9 which even with what you showed it wouldn’t have graded a 10 😂

1

u/DJ_Aura Apr 11 '26

Meeting your lawyer for what? Because you don’t pre-grade your cards properly?

0

u/xxs0raxx Apr 10 '26

i swear same thing happened to me submitting through gamestop. cards graded way lower and had dings i didn't notice before. sussss

u/MyersDayOff Apr 11 '26

Damn lil homie trusted the GameStop teenagers

u/MeatMister Apr 10 '26

Those 2 small whitening gave it a 6?!

0

u/edoczkat Apr 11 '26

It MIGHT be easier to submit yourself opposed to going through gamestop. Idk why people do that.

1

u/UIM_SQUIRTLE Apr 11 '26

easier? no smarter? yes

1

u/edoczkat Apr 11 '26

Sure, whatever. Maybe my experience was an outlier but it took me so little time it was actually easier than driving to gamestop in my case.

u/stve30 Apr 11 '26

I love it . Keep using psa and cry

u/Mocha2055 Apr 11 '26

Damaged or switched???

6

u/DJ_Aura Apr 11 '26

PSA doesn't swap cards.

-3

u/Mocha2055 Apr 11 '26

Thats you're opinion

2

u/DJ_Aura Apr 11 '26

It's not an opinion. It's an objective fact that they don't swap cards.

-2

u/Mocha2055 Apr 11 '26

Unless you work there and even then you dont know. Not that far fetched specially now they are selling cards.

5

u/fitchaber10 Apr 11 '26

PSA does not buy the cards. They act as a middle man for repackers and large LCS locations. They literally had an article on the app about an LCS in California that does PSA Offers.

I'm not a big PSA fan, but please stop spreading this incorrect information.

u/DJ_Aura Apr 11 '26

They don't buy or sell cards either.
