BGS or PSA ever "lose" anyone's card(s)?

Hi everyone,

New member here. Excited to join. Thanks for reading my post.

Am curious if anyone has recently or ever sent a card(s) to BGS (or PSA or others) and then been informed that they've "lost" or "misplaced" the order. By that I mean the company itself lost the order -- not in transit. Can you share any details about your experience? Or of similar stories you've heard but know personally to be true?

Thanks all.
Happy collecting!
Robert

Thanks for sharing that thread, and sorry if this is an old topic of discussion!

Anyone else? Asking because of some press interest in the frequency of this and the potential for fraud, so trying to get a sense anecdotally from members just how common it is.
Thanks.

I've heard of at least 10 times between here and Net54 in the past six years.

Thanks. Do you or anyone recall if such incidents were more BGS or PSA, or was it more evenly spread out?

I think most of the BGS ones I've heard of were not internal, but rather ones that were stolen by UPS drivers. There was that big issue at the National that one year with the boxes of Mahomes 1/1 cards that were all stolen by another submitter.
