Mail day! Panini Replacement comes through! Zion Silver Prizm

Morrison35 · 08-13-2020, 08:25 PM

I had sent out for a replacement back in February. And after reading some other users experiences with Panini replacing cards I was not expecting one.

Glad I was wrong.

Here’s what the old one looked like
Better pic of the old damage.

Wait. What was the issue with the first?

Centering is definitely leagues better with the new one. Grats.

This could open up a whole can of worms

It looks like a fingernail type indention to the right of his armpit maybe?

Oh no. It’s that white mark on the right that looks like it’s on the top loader. It was not. I’ll edit the picture and circle it.

Spacemanspif · 08-13-2020, 08:34 PM

centering is nice, they gave you one with a funny ghost shield though. still miles better than what you had

Ah yeah, that was what I was referring to. Just kinda looked like an indention to me based on some of the damaged ones I had. Glad they replaced it for you! I had a purple wave with a giant roller line across the middle and got my replacement back a couple weeks ago as well. I was also fearing I might not get the same card back.

ProtonPills · 08-13-2020, 08:58 PM

Wow, you are one of the lucky ones it seems! Mine was returned as is saying sorry, we don't have any more replacements

Glad someone got one though

fdjizm · 08-14-2020, 09:23 AM

Wow lucky, how long did that take?
Very nice centering.

Kinda funny that the RC crest is still mis-stamped in the replacement.

Yeah I had to laugh too. At least it doesn’t have that original scratch.
Very lucky to have gotten one

jfan2024 · 08-15-2020, 02:28 AM

Centering is still off top/bottom and RC logo is still off. Probably still a 9 but yeah loads better than the first one and that white mark. You're a lucky one to even get a replacement

Worth it to send in to PSA you think?

It’s only like $18...you already waited 6 months, what’s one more lol?

Blanketcards · 08-18-2020, 11:08 AM

I just got a replacement back for a Zion Air to the Throne /25, pretty awesome card. When I pulled it from wax the entire back was peeled up. I finally got a new one 7 months later which I was fine with since it was probably one of my favorite cards with Zion on the front and Lebron on the back. After looking at the replacement the corner had a small mark but I decided to send to BGS anyways just to have it slabbed. Just got it back and got a 9 because of corners and edges. Moral of the story is even "brand new" cards not even packaged or boxed are still not gem mints!

It's a Silver Zion, you're going to pay alot more to grade it PSA...

Morrison35 · 11-03-2020, 12:52 AM

Update: Plot twist : (added pic to first post) - sent it in to PSA. was stunned when this came back a 10.
I was not expecting it.

Mahomie · 11-03-2020, 12:55 AM

Nice, dude - congrats. Sounds like he worked on his conditioning a ton this off-season; looking forward to seeing him in action again.

congrats, that's a HUGE win!

Bruin7 · 11-03-2020, 05:21 AM

YES congrats OP! Panini definitely came through for you in the clutch!

tgblackw · 11-03-2020, 07:21 AM

Congrats on the replacement and the PSA 10 OP.

I got an e-mail from Panini yesterday that I finally had a replacement being shipped. I sent in a NT Collegiate Ja Morant RPA in November 2019 and had not heard anything from Panini since, despite multiple follow up attempts. Received word that they are shipping a Court Kings Ruby Heir Apparent Zion Auto /49.

Pretty happy with the replacement.

Thankful1 · 11-03-2020, 09:55 AM

Proof of purchase necessary for these replacements? Have a silver zion mosaic that came out of pack with indention
