PSA slabbing story....

[jchcollins]

Unfortunately this has long been an issue at PSA, and as is their MO with anything else not directly related to them raking in more cash - if they can get away with it and not lose business, they don't give the first flying f---.

I've seen situations where supposedly slightly oversized 1957 and later cards get the 1956-and-earlier Topps slab, but have never seen an oversized Topps vintage (2" 5/8 by 3" 3/4...) card in such a huge oversized case as the one pictured. Honestly, that's asinine.

But again - it's a sporadic issue, likely not reported that often, and not a ton of people actually care - so PSA isn't going to do anything about it. To me, this is where we as collectors have to differentiate the usefulness of the opinion / holdering services - and where in many cases the fraudulent / ridiculous factor can creep in. I'd bust those cards in a heartbeat and put them in Card Savers if for my own PC.
