Yes. Contact a lawyer and sue PSA for damages.

Maybe contacting PSA first would be worth doing before spending money on a lawyer.

I can't believe they did that. They should have just sent it back and said, "could not holder".

What are the damages? $300,000? Or $75? I’m sure the lawyers will be lining up around the block for this case.

I thought your post was going to be about a T201 double folder! Sorry, folding over a check, shouldn't have happened

Default eek!
Was there an existing crease/fold line where they folded it? Or did they add a new crease to the check?

Hopefully no new damage was caused and they will re-holder into an appropriately sized slab.

that is really un professional. They should have contacted you to discuss options
But it is especially Odd because there are so many checks that are put in different types of slabs so it should not be that complex to put in the right slab

Nat Turner is not only a crazed collector like all of us, but he seems to be a decent guy. I suspect he’d work with the OP on this towards a fair result. Other than the idiot who slabbed the check, no one wants to see this happen to a collectible.

Yeah, I will take on contingency for 1/3 of the $75. Huge piece of new business.

When PSA accepts an item submitted to them, they become under law a bailee. As such, they cannot change or alter any item without the permission of the consignor. IMO PSA is clearly negligent when they so carelessly stuffed your beloved Doyle check into a holder too small for the job. The Bailees Liability Law in your state backs you up.
PSA has failed you and you should seek restitution.

To the OP, if you're not mad at PSA, I'm mad at them for you. I saw this last night and it angered me that they would do that. That hasn't changed today, I'm still angry with them.
I find it hard to believe that a company that grades items would think this is OK to do. If you sent a card or postcard with a fold or wrinkle, it gets a lower grade, making it worth less money. Yet, here they are intentionally folding your check and therefore making it worth less. Not to mention the presentation really suffered too.
Absolutely terrible!!
I really hope there's some way to make this right with you. Like Leon said, you should get back all fees, shipping and original price of the check, at least.

But where is he going to find a lawyer? (he says with a smirk)

Yes, that is definitely something that erased a good amount of value, imo. That is a total mistake on their part and you should be compensated. I say you should be given your full purchase price of the check and a refund on all grading/shipping fees.
