- In May PSA announced new slabs, and in recent weeks we've started to see that many of them have white cracks -- what PSA is calling "flow lines -- in them. PSA finally has an interim solution.

I got some slabs back 3-4 months ago and had to crack a few that PSA crack head graded way bad ,I told people the the slabs were a rubber type plastic,very difficult to crack compared to the old slabs
@@bobo44donemilking51 the new slabs came out last month
@@JunkWaxHero I'm telling you it was a few months ago,they had to have been some type of prototype,I made a comment about it a couple of other UA-cam channels 😡
@@JunkWaxHero I've cracked a ton of PSA slabs in my day ,the last ones where rubbery
I’m not interested in slabbed cards at all. So I’m not gonna buy PSA graded cards that are impossible to crack without hurting the card.
I have 130 PSA graded cards through comc/psa. Now I need to elect to take shipment. Wait the 2 months. Sift through what sucks. Then package it up and pay shipping on an abundance of slabs IF I choose to not live with their mistake
I appreciate their effort but it’s pathetic to begin with. 0 quality control
Agreed, but I think they pay for shipping on a correction
(A small consolation)
@@JunkWaxHero that does help Mike! A little. I just wouldn’t ever grade that many cards again. 3 10’s and 40 9’s? Between that and the quality control and 3 weeks overdue when there isn’t a backlog…
Hopefully I’ve learned my lesson in years to come. Even if they pay the shipping… it’s going to take months.
Also not to sound like a negative Nancy, I just paid them or PSA 5 x $15 to reslab 5 cards. 2 of which were essential credentials /45 /16 and the fresh cases scratched and one you could press on it and it was unlike the other.
These fuckin guys just slab em and don’t look at them. 100% otherwise how are thousand dollar cards/ how TF did these get into people’s hands!?!!?! There’s no other explanation other than no one is paying attention until people complain imo
Don't believe your lying eyes, these obvious flaws in our new slabs aren't flaws, they're just part of this wonderful new process. Oh wait, nevermind, we are canceling these slabs and fixing them.
The 1LR question.
The basic answer
1 is the type of plastic polyethylene terephthalate
LR stands for light reflectance. It is a measure of the percentage of light which is reflected off of a given panel surface.
Thanks for this. So what exactly is the measure of light reflectance?
1LR …. One Ludicrous Ripoff?
lol I like it
I would be deducting 10 to 20% from price if i were buying any card slabs that have those so called flow lines from cheap plastic psa is using just my opinion flow lines what ever they whant to call it makes slab look ugly
Hahaha just a disaster, but at least they are doing SOMETHING
Yeah it’s crazy
Flush Twice.....it's a long way to the FLOW LINE!
Thanks for the update 👍❤️
As always. Thanks for your efforts
Thanks Warren!
TY, Mike
Grifter Geeeeeeeeof was defending it and according to him it isn't a deal breaker. They need to REDUCE THE PRICING OF THEIR garbage grading and aweful heavier slabs. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! wasting money on grading..... unless you flip.
PSA customer service feels like its from 1998. It's sad for such a large company.
A year from now, countless jackasses will be selling those garbage slabs on ebay as "RARE Flow Line ERROR! Low Pop!"
and the bigger ones will buy it 😂
Hang onto the slabs with flowlines...there could be a "flow line premium".
1 of 1 BLUE WAVE REFRACTOR FLOW LINE EXAMPLE.
PSA's strategy: 1. Ready 2. Fire 3. Aim 4. Retreat
Flow line should be the least of their concerns. How about the fact they still upcharge AKA and still knowingly grade altered cards. Most inconsistent grading company. Throw in some POP report manipulation and a billion dollar monopoly that owns them. Grading has ruined the hobby in many ways. Collectors like myself can't get affordable raw copies of cards because they're all graded for the most part
Or they’re priced up because people would rather have raw than a 9 because raw still has a chance at a 10. Often cheaper to buy a 9 in ultramodern.
@@JunkWaxHero I don't grade at all. Maybe that's the case but why should I be penalized because others grade ?
@@chrisc4264 I’m not saying you should be. I’m not sure what you mean
@@chrisc4264 They're not all graded....not even close.
@@JunkWaxHero I shouldn't have to pay more for raw because the seller assumes I will grade any card I buy. I won't support PSA ever again
Seriously.... How much more of their crap are people willing to tolerate? The high prices, the ridiculous wait times, the inconsistent grading, the ugly baggies that hold the card diagonally, the plethora of altered cards in numbered slabs, the continued acceptance of submissions from known card doctors, the horrible level of communication, the failure to honor their so-called guarantee, the endless self-aggrandizing, and now this utter bullsh!t. The sheeple need to wake up and boycott them!
The latest PSA announcement was about grader notes, and how PSA will make them available now. The problem is those notes will only be available to the person submitting the card for grading, and that person cannot those grader notes with anyone like a potential buyer for the card. Watched a video about this earlier from Graig from Midlife Cards.
Yep, I talked about it on my Sunday video
Version 1 Long rectangular
Hi Mike, thanks for the update.
Everyone should know who JWH is in the Hobby!!!
Thanks man!
I think we can thank guys like you, Mike, for talking about this and raising concerns. Clearly they would have just run with it if there wasn't push back. By the way, I managed to make it through the entire video, despite you mentioning He Who Should Not Be Named at the 0:34 second mark.
Lol I don’t even need to load it up to know who that is
And thanks for the kind words
Will the newest (August) slabs be designated the '1LR++' call-sign? Or, do we just pretend the '1LR+' experiment never happened? 😄
This is a bit of a PR disaster for PSA': on the one hand, you can't blame them for trying to improve their products; on the other hand, you'd think that if you've been working on a 'new and improved' product for over three years, that it would actually be 'new and improved', and without defects, when you release it to market
It looks like they'll be making things right by the customers, and rectifying the issue. We'll see how it all pans out.
As always, thank you for keeping us up-to-date. 👍
Yeah I have to wonder if they just didn’t see the flow lines, or if they thought no one would notice or care.
"1LR Classic" like Coke did in the 80s!
Thanks for the alert Mike!
You bet!
Thanks for the update
You bet
Hi Mike. For the record, I am not tired of the vermont collection.
Thank you!
MORE VERMONT COLLECTION. MORE MORE MORE.
We hate psa. Long live Beckett monthly
we are working on it currently.removing the flow lines are not easy
Okay Nat
1 lr =like rubber
My entire last order had these issues with flow lines along with orders prior. There's no way they just "overlooked" these after millions of slabs printed, PSA QA has plummeted. Not to mention a giant chunk of plastic was literally encapsulated on my last order as well and they even took a picture with it in there... waiting for a QA response.
Good luck! Let me know
Bwahagagagaga. .. after PSA CEO LIAR IN CHEIF stated there wasn't a problem then flip flopped. PSA and grading is the biggest con of all. Grifter Centrál.
When did he say there wasn’t a problem?
@@JunkWaxHero It was an interview with one of these alleged influencers. It occured when PSA had just come out with the slab. It was somewhere on you tube. Who knows if it has been taken down as these "Influencers" are all in bed with these companies anyway. Especially those that got the TOPPS card in Big League. Now all of a sudden they are pushing the SET BUILDER narrative. Bwahahahahaha. From the same grifters who fly through base to get to "the good stuff." As if base is toxic poison. We all know they are all for the quick flip and almighty breaker $$.
New subscriber here. Thanks for the info, I was just about to have some of my slabs submitted to PSA to be reholdered. I am guessing I should wait until PSA resolves this issue before I make my submission?
I think so, yes. And thanks for subscribing!
Or better yet, you could simply refuse to support them.
I wish i could submit all my new slabs now so i could get them put in the old slabs which are way easier for me to crack.
If you are careful enough, about 1 every 5 or so older slabs can be popped open without too much damage and can actually be re sealed without telling much difference at all! And they have the PSA logo on the plastic. Scary right!?
Do you have evidence of this? A video or anything?
Haha!! I see what you did there. You want me to make a video showing how to do something very shady. Ha yea right. Not quite
@@robworfel5375 lol I think it would be compelling and valuable
I have a permanent solution to PSA's slab problem. Top loaders. Or magnetic card holders. Or semi-rigids. And I just happen to know a guy. 💡
lol yes!
PSA is such a garbage company. Even the little tiny companies nobody has heard of have substantially better slabs.
Being monopolistic has its consequences. You think all that $ they corralled people into spending they would idk invest wisely into their own machinery instead of pocketing everything? Pretty telling imo they clearly didn't check slabs for flaws or anything before firing up the ol' slab gooper.
Psa honestly needs to have multiple options on slabs. Slabs with no subs should not be the only choice, but if a patron wants the sub grading let them have it for not much more. They are also ridiculous on their submission prices without a more detailed slab. They also need to add Ai to their grading, which takes out the factor of bias or someone having a bad day. Them changing their slabs slightly and people freaking out about it is not good for future changes. Without detail on the card, there needs to be a full explanation on why a card received the grade it did on their website when a person scans their card. They should have mentioned the changes to the slabs on the website or the magazine before it happened to ease every ones issues.
