Anyone have experience with a reholder downgrade?

[sdkammeyer]

I hope I'm not straying too far off-topic here but your post brings up a question to me.

As noobie as it sounds, I have never sent in a card to be graded. But after I finish my t206 set I had planned to send the entire set in and have it reholdered. Specifically to have all nice, clean, fresh slabs since I plan to display the set and don't want any scratched/scuffed holders.

Since this isn't going to take place for another couple years I haven't done much research on it (costs, time, etc). Are you saying that if I were to send in my set of all PSA 4's that they won't just accept the grade on the card, crack it, and put it in a fresh holder? As you can see in my particular case ... it's a pretty scary thought to send off all 4's after I spent so much time collecting them .... and then getting back some 3's and 5's.

SGC has great customer service, they'll be sure to help you out.

I don't know PSA's policy. But if it is the same as SGC's, which I would assume it is, then they reserve the right to reassess the card and make sure they got it right the first time. I am willing to bet very few out of 500+ would come back different grade, but I would assume a few will.

I think PSA will re-holder without re-evaluation, but just give them a call and ask.

Lol, you guys would probably be the winners in all that too. I'd be on here peddling 5's straight up for good conditioned 4's of the same player

My only experience with PSA on sending a card that I got was a T3 PSA 4 with slight paper loss and a stain on it, I sent it to them to review and they said the grade was correct. I did send it in with another order so really didnt cost me anything but I am still baffled about how it graded a 4.

I did have it happen with an SGC card that was a 50 I bought that had a small dot of paper loss on the back only seen clearly with a loupe. I sent it in with a sub and it was downgraded to a 20 and they gave me 10 free subs for it that more than make up for my loss. Sean was great to deal with on that one.

SGC made the mistake so you feel the need to turn it into a PSA bashing?
