Like so many of you, I've decided to dig through some old sports cards in the basement after MANY years in storage. To my surprised, I found a 1993 Upper Deck Foil Derek Jeter card in a top loader/penny sleeve. I was stoked to find it, but my smile quickly evaporated after taking it out of the penny sleeve....the card legit came apart/separated into 2 pieces - front and back are now 2 pieces. Surprisingly, the corners and edges are still in decent shape if that's even possible. Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there anything I can do to repair the card? Should I even bother sending it in to be graded? I haven't looked at sports cards in 25+ years so I've been out of the game for awhile. Any suggestions would be super appreciated.

When that happens to my Jeter cards, I use Elmer’s glue.

Definitely grade each half. Could be half of half times two instead of 1 of 1

If I sent it to PSA as is, do you think I can still get a grade of 1? lol

Just staple it together and send it in. What could possibly go wrong?
