Crazy PSA Holder?!

[Mike D.]

So, I had a nice day at the mailbox today with a few recent buys coming in (shown in pic for relative size).

BUT, what's the deal with that Chris Sale card?! The holder it's in is twice the size of a standard holder, and more than twice as thick...but it's a standard sized card.

Maybe the card is thicker than normal...but still. Very odd holder choice. Is this something PSA would re-holder into something smaller?

That’s a pack holder. PSA now has a thicker, but normal sized, holder for thick cards. That way it can stack with your other PSA-graded cards.

Pack holder makes sense, looking at it. Putting a card in it sure feels hacky!

Think PSA would re-holder into a more reasonable case? If so, may do that with my next psa sub as this is gonna be a pain to store as-is.

Depends how thick the card is, but probably. You'd have to pay the reholder fee, since it's just cosmetic. Yeah, there are some times they have run out of thick card holders and had to substitute these instead just to get the orders out the door.

Yeah, I figured it’d require the reholder fee. Probably worth it for ease of storage and I’d have to imagine cards in wonky cases take a resale hit.

Pretty lame that they do this kind of thing.

Hey, at least you have a holder. Have an order in assembly for over 4 weeks. They may be out of holders. Probably out in the bay in a cargo container from China.
