Hmmm..its hard to believe after all this time...you would think a light bulb will go off in the heads of the design team... typing this as I stare at a E90-1 floating sideways in my older PSA holder...

Remember this thread for the next time we see the question "Should I use PSA or SGC for grading?" Time for PSA to execute their damage control-business continuity plan.

WRONG
I may choose SGC for other reasons but I had an oversized 4 figure card delivered to me that had moved inside an SGC holder and caused corner damage

I like SGC better than PSA, but Craig is 100% correct. This can happen to any grading company. I put more of the blame on the packing/shipping methods. I recently picked up a few common T3s and they were tossed, loosely, in a box with a few other things. After rattling around for a few days, this was the result:

You need to start a web site psasucks.com where everyone can post their crappy work product.

Jim VB,

That sucks with your T3's. I like SGC but one thing I noticed is the gaskets they use are thin. Why don't they use a thicker gasket material? If a T3 can slide in between the gasket and the holder, there is obviously enough space to accomodate a thicker gasket.

Another thing I noticed about the gaskets is that after they are cut, they are pretty rough on the inner portion. Not sure if this has ever damaged a card, but you would think some improvements could be made. You can actually see some of the chipped off border on the T3 Downey.

A thicker gasket would be better for SGC.

Why would anyone put a photo in the PSA no-gasket holders? Same with PSA's card holders where the card is just floating around, its awful for the card and awful looking.

It's available which is surprising since most companies buy the *sucks name just to avoid others from getting it.
