I submitted a BGS 7.5 1993 SP Derek Jeter for crossover, and PSA returned it saying the card didn’t meet their minimum size specifications. After 136 callers ahead of me in their queue, I finally get an agent who tells me that “PSA is the diamond standard in the industry, and therefore she’s confident their specifications are accurate and the other company must be wrong”. I asked if she could have this escalated to a manager or supervisor for a second review, and she tells me its not possible, but they won’t charge me and I can resubmit it for another review. If it gets the same opinion, I wouldn’t be charged again.
So essentially, I can re-submit this card repeatedly until the end of my life and never pay for the grading (just S&H) instead of them realizing they made a mistake and correcting it the first time.
Moral of the story - don’t ever sub to PSA.

LOL. The Diamond standard in the hobby.
Give this vid a watch. It will likely help you understand why your card gets scrutinized like it does.
Nope, no bias or favoritism with PSA. They treat all cards equally and don't favor certain submitters either.
