I sent to Nat. Should be an easy axe of the submitter.

I’m the unfortunate buyer and owner of the PSA 10. If you could send Nat my direction, I’d appreciate it. That’s an $11k card.

Oof. Hope they make you whole.

I’m hoping so also. The purchase was only 3 weeks ago the card is still at the same value or higher. Their guarantee on the PSA website implies I should be covered.

Yikes. Sorry man, that sucks. Hope they get the guy and make you whole.

This sucks in general for sho flagship collectors though. Now I need to skeptically look at any expensive card with a 7 in front of the serial #.

NYRE2PECT · 05-13-2023, 12:36 PM

Trimmers suck.

Going to see Ohtani for the 1st time in person today. Hoping for a big game.

Wow that's an 11k card these days? I wonder my what Black 10 is worth. 15? Insane that I paid 250 for it raw off Ebay a few years ago

Probably a little under actually. The indie premium for 2018 has surpassed black. Topps killed the design (made it awful bland) for that parallel after 2019, making the 2018 more desirable.

Wonder how hard it will be to find the trimmer from the ebay consignment seller? Bought trimmed sold within a month PSA should also have the customers info too. Yes 2018 design so much nicer!

Not surprised with how great the Indys look

the PSA 10 was sold as a 1-day auction so certainly the bad actor wanted it posted, sold and offline asap….

Betting that it was submitted through a group submitter so PSA will have to shake them down for a name. A couple checks around the serial # should give you a better idea what kind of sub it was. I hate to say it but there may be other Ohtanis trimmed.

That trimmed Ohtani is a really, really bad look for PSA. There's no excuse for PSA not having a database of images of previously sold cards to compare to new cards they grade -- especially cards recently sold. It's also automatic that a BGS 8.5 corner grade disqualifies a card from a PSA 10 grade.

This instance is anecdotal, but it really illustrates how PSA grading is a scam -- either this was willful negligence or deliberately done.

Cards and 401K · 05-14-2023, 03:34 PM

Very True, a lot of things look really bad for them. Big /76 Ohtani card makes me think it may be the latter.

Trueblue · 05-14-2023, 03:41 PM

There's a grading thread if you want to discuss PSA outside Ohtani. The most practical explanation is that PSA did not do their diligence rather than anything nefarious. Clearly, better precaution needs to be taken for iconic athlete RCs like Ohtani.

Cards and 401K · 05-14-2023, 03:42 PM

OP MOD could move.

TooManyCards76 · 05-14-2023, 03:46 PM

Wouldn’t this be mail fraud? Making this a federal case? Should be open and shut case as there is quite a bit of language by PSA around cards being submitted haven’t been altered so it should be an easy fraud case as a federal felony.

majestik101 · 05-14-2023, 05:30 PM

Awful baserunning by Ohtani today. Not sure what he was thinking.
