It might be the case that PSA feels the piece too fragile to risk removing it from the SGC holder and then making it through the sonic sealing process. The amount of time it would take them to rectify that issue would not be worth it. Easier to just take a pass on trying.

I submitted back in March and it got an N9, with PSA claiming "they do not grade this card." I even put in the comments, "slab as authentic altered." After talking to 3 different customer service people I was told to confirm with the spec number for the card with the Customer Request Center to confirm PSA would grade the card. They confirmed they grade 1921 exhibits and gave me the spec number
Fast forward to June, I resubmit the card again. In the comments I give the spec number and and "Please slab as authentic altered." It again comes back as an N9 and also says minimum grade. I'm truly at a loss for words for how frustrating this process is. My only plan of action is to submit it at the national and talk to their people there. The only silver lining is I've only paid $40 for this card to bounce between the west and east coast and not pay for the grading costs.
QUESTION: Has anyone run into this before where SGC slabbed a beater but PSA on their high horse won't? If anyone has any other suggestions on how i can get this card into a PSA slab I would love to hear it. Appreciate everyone who let me rant.
