I wouldn't believe these stories at face value without evidence or more information.

+1. Let’s see some evidence.

I’m not sure why you wouldn’t believe these stories. PSA is an absolute dumpster fire for consistency in grading and QC.

I’ve had this experience and I have the PSA customer service emails to prove it. I sent an Old Mill T206 Cy Young PSA 1.5 with a ding in the case to PSA for reholdering. This was the response I received (I ended up having them send it back unprocessed because they are incompetent):

The damage is the top right front, slight star ding.

“It has come to our attention your PSA encased card, cert #26118754 - 1909-11 T206 Old Mill Cy Young Clev., Glove Shows was received with a crack on the holder.
Upon re-holdering the card, we will review the card to confirm it meets the current grade 1.5 and it has not been damaged.”

Good riddance PSA, SGC is leagues better anyway.

Fascinating topic but pointless thread since it is absent any details. Next...

I was under the impression if PSA ever lowers the grade of an already graded PSA card,
that you get compensated for the difference.

If the slab is impacted in ANY Way they are not obliged to do that....

Grade guarantee only applies to purchaser of the card, not the original submitter.
"Upon presentation to PSA by the current owner of a PSA authenticated and graded card (“Card”), if PSA concludes that the Card was erroneously awarded the PSA grade assigned or fails PSA’s authenticity standards, and provided that the Card had an active certification number on the cert lookup feature of the PSA website at the time it was purchased by the person submitting the Guarantee request, then PSA in its sole discretion will either:"

My thoughts exactly.

I agree at least in the sense that more information would be required. I have talked to people who have gotten money back from PSA's guarantee, though those circumstances may be different. But without full details, it's too vague to really make much of a judgement.
