Off-Centered PSA Encapsulation

Oh, one thing you could try is to get a couple little suction cups and put them on the middle of the slab, front and back, and gently pull to relieve some pressure that�s on the item and see if it shifts then.

Boy I LOVED the ingenuity on this one ... but all I did was break the little suction cup handles when pulling from both sides -- lol. Maybe there's a bigger cup that'll do the job.

I would take a red marker and color in the areas of the holder until it looks square. Thank me later.

Unfortunately (and believe it or not) this is par for the course for them... I'd break it out, rather than constantly being reminded of PSA's ineptitude every time I looked at it.

They even do this off-center and tilting placement with 1950 Bowman Cards. I avoid them completely.

Yeah I�ll probably wait until they�re at a nearby show in November, have them do the work, and just sticker it. I know it�s an odd fit, but damn, an 80/20 center job is ridiculous.

So apparently this job was bad enough to justify a redo on their part. Hopefully second time is the charm ...

I wonder if this means they will fix the tens of thousands of off-centered and tilting cards they've sloppily slabbed as well? All this time, I've been cracking them out and putting them in One-Touch Holders.

Oh well... they look far better without the bar-codes anyway.
