PSA Card Grading

[Favara]

Has anyone ever sent in an over-sized card like the old 1939-1946 exhibit cards and received back in the original card saver with the PSA stickers stuck back on with no grade but rather all information and hologram along with a number but where is the grading all it says "NO HOLDER". No grade, no authentic? What good is this, no explanation? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

That means the card is too large (or too fragile) to fit in any PSA holder. (It could also possibly mean that PSA doesn't grade that set, like the 1985 Star basketball.) You would receive a credit for that card since you won't be charged for the grading fee for it.

But why no grade? and its a Ted Williams Salutation card that are all over auctions and ebay with cases from PSA?

I have approximately 20 PSA graded and 10 SGC graded Ted Williams Salutation exhibits. When I first started with the exhibits cards, I sent three Ted #9 Not Showing in to PSA. All three returned NO HOLDER. These, as I later found, we're all reprints. The first appeared clean and original from the front, but clearly on the back the card stock was gray (pulp-like). The other two were actually smaller, with Ted not as "sharp" in the photo, and the tag line (either Printed in USA or Made in USA) was cut off.

Suspect your NO HOLDER means reprint for this exhibits. If you post the front and back, I can give you a better answer.

That appears to be a reprint.
