Bought PSA card on Ebay, card is rattling in holder, what would you do?

Always a major let down to receive a card that does not meet the expectations. Post of pict. of the card and might be able to give some better input. I would be curious as to how bad the dinged corner is. I assume the picture that was posted on the original listing did not show the dinged corner. Is that correct?

PSA should make it good. Don't they guarantee the grade? Possibly the corner was damaged because the grader put the card in a holder that allowed the card to float around. A card with a dinged corner is not an 8 anymore.

Does this file show through? I'm not good with the Net54 system.

I'd normally say don't worry about it you bot a PSA 8 so it's a PSA 8 and if it's rattling around a bit thats how it goes. In this case though, because there is no white border around the card and the card printing itself runs to the very edge of the card the movement within the holder in my opinion actually causes the chipping along the border and corner. Based on what I see I don't believe that if this card was cracked out and resubmitted blindly to PSA that it would regrade as an 8. PSA allowing the card to move inside the holder is most likely to blame but what will they do about it. You essentially have an expensive card that most likely isn't worth what you paid.

If it were me I'd try for a refund first because you don't really seem to be happy with the card, if you were unable to get the refund it I'd go the PSA route and see what remedy you have there.

Depends on the severity of the ding but i have had thousands of psa 8s with what id call a dinged corner.

Most of the damage I see there is in places where the corner can't hit the sides of the holder. So it was graded that way.

OK, that makes sense. I love the card, so it stays as is. I think I overreacted, having read the responses. You all are the smartest collective group on the Internet. If someone says otherwise, they're wrong, because you all are smarter.
