**Newsflash** PSA SUCKS!

PSA: What the HELL is this?
(Answer: A thousand dollar turd)

[triwak]

Holy crap!

Geez David... I am sorry to see this... So much for PSA Quality Control... Seriously, I can envision it was centered in the holder when it left, but obviously was loose due to improper fit, and boom - Shipping took care of the rest. Probably was not even mishandled. Just simply the wrong holder. (Obviously)

That sucks.

[sox1903wschamp]

What a crock. And not to pile on but we also see plenty of cards loose in holders that bug the heck out of me.

[Gradedcardman]

Looking forward to seeing what PSA does for you.

Oh my goodness, can it really be a PSA sucks thread... it's been too long.

David, that's just aweful. I'd be really pissed off. They may offer you 10 free submissions for that mistake. Do you have any Conlon photos that you'd like to have encapsulated?

[Leon]

That does suck David. That picture will never quite be the same. Sorry you are going to have to go through some hassles. What a shame on both fronts.

[teetwoohsix]

WTF?! That's B/S..........I think PSA needs to reimburse you what you paid for that photo. What a shame- hope it works out for you David.

Sincerely, Clayton

No, Fred. No Conlon photos. But I do have one by Benjamin Falk that I'd like to shove up Bill Mastro's ass.

David that's just horrible. A design change on PSA's part so the picture has no play inside the sleeve is very necessary after seeing this. Sad, a beauty like this can survive 100+ years in a harsh environment only to be screwed up in a matter of minutes due to something as silly as poor planning. Simply uncalled for.

that's kind of disturbing. good job by bill. i was going to suggest getting a refund from the seller and let him deal with psa but bill's already taken care of the matter.

No. It wasn't screwed up due to "poor planning." It was screwed up by having undergone a completely unnecessary encapsulation.

When was the last time you saw a museum or archive have a photo encapsulated? Yeah. That's right. Never.

There's a reason for that.

Dave, hey man sorry on the that crap psa messed up a cool vintage wire photo, I would be sending back a very bad letter along with never using their services, good luck and keep us informed to what happens

[Kawika]

Won the photo in the recent Goodwin auction. NW and SE corners were already a tad bumped in Goodwin's scan. I don't hold him to blame. The holder is entirely inappropriate for its purpose - the photo will swim all over until it wedges itself in the sides **BRR-RING ... BRR-ING** Holy Smokes! It's Bill Goodwin on the line in mid-sentence. Bill is very apologetic, offers a refund or whatever I would like. I'd like to keep McMullin - it was to be the anti-Zeenut in my seat-of-the-pants Black Sox collection (I'll bust it out into a toploader) - so Bill offers a very generous rebate. McDonald is taken care of and no longer fouling the air with blue verbiage and, what's more, Bill promises to advise Joe Orlando that his photo holders need to go back to the drawing board (on account of they suck) and so the Hobby might become a slightly better place as a result. I just love a happy ending.
