Leon,
Thanks for your help in getting registered. Griffins, Thanks for all the feedback, exactly what I was looking for. I figured the tear would negatively impact a grade, any idea on how much so? I have no plans to open the pack but will probably hold off on grading as well until I can do a little more research.

I've never focused too much on grades on packs- authenticity is paramount, then eye appeal- but I would guess at least a full grade and maybe as much as 3. Frankly I wish they would just authenticate them and leave the often arbitrary grading out of the equation.
The tear is almost certainly caused by the gum moving around, and in shipping it for grading and the grading company handling it the tear would probably get worse and possibly have others. If you send it to PSA they'll send it to Steve Hart who will then send it back to PSA, where it will be slabbed and sent back to you. The slab won't stop the gum from tearing at the pack, and my fear is that it will look a lot worse when you get it back. If you're not selling I'd hang onto it until they get their act together in regards to holders. Welcome to the boards! Last edited by Griffins; 11-20-2010 at 11:57 PM.

Anthony and His Packs
Anthony is PAC(K) Man. He has a great collection. I think there are some scans of his stuff on CU. I keep asking him where he lives, but he won't tell me

I would believe the hole will affect the grade. I have not put too much emphasis on high graded packs, but more importantly that the pack has not been resealed. Right now PSA grades and definately will knock the pack down a lot, but PSA holders can ruin packs, I would send it to Global Authority, their holders protect the packs. If you bought it on Ebay raw without knowing the seller, chances are its resealed. I have been collecting unopened packs since 1990 and can help with any questions or concerns you may have regarding packs.
