Nopers. The books I have that are like this are scuffed on the inside of the cases. Products on the outside do nothing - and yes, I did try before realizing where the scuffing is.

this. i tried tons of different products on other cases before i realized it was the inside that was scuffed. on this book some of the smaller dust looking marks were able to be cleaned off but the main marks went nowhere.

first order back after the new return policy. looks like they aren't even going to pretend to care.

camera has a hard time capturing the scuffing, it trys to auto focus on the comic or the lighting. but they generally look worse in person. the star wars book had a damaged comic, scuffing, and newton rings. i feel like i hit the trifecta.

soooooo, acceptable?

8 out of 10 in this order had about this level of scuffing. i'm done.

Only wrong info on the label is eligible for a ME with no time limit/doesn't need to be the submitter.  Anything else would need approval.  BTW, I don't think that is a hair in the case.

this one is a scratch, but the first one clearly has a piece of plastic in it, and was deemed to be not outside the tolerances for imperfections. also its well within the 14 day time frame.....

Are these spots on the inside...like on the inner sleeve?  If so, they just fixed some of mine. 

Sent in 3 books. 3 came back, 2 had the issue and went right back to them.  Of course one came back again with same issue, but less of it.  At that point you weigh the risk of sending it in a 3rd time, and giving them another chance to damage the book...vs just living with it.

No idea why they would accept some and not others.  Push them.  It's ugly and easy for them to avoid.

They've obviously got a lot of dirty plastic and they are using it without cleaning it.

Most look like its on the outside, some look like they might be on the inside. I tried wiping them off with no luck, so i ordered some plastic cleaning stuff to see if that will do the trick.

Its frustrating enough to have to send submissions back for ME (my last one took close to three months), but now they are just saying no, it kind of left me dumbfounded.

Just got an email this morning stating these defects fall into the acceptable range and dont qualify for ME reholder.

I have to send a few slabs back that got damaged in transit, so i was wondering can i add a second order in the same box to save on shipping?

thanks in advance!

@Mrtombs

I just started recently as the Administrator for the CSG Chat Boards and I came across your post.  I wanted to see if you were able to get assistance with this.  Your card appears to be the Base Red from the 2019-20 Panini Status set and not the White Diamonds (which would have been numbered /125 as you stated above).  

thanks for the confirmation! how would i go about getting it corrected??

I just noticed a mislabeled slab in the submission i got back last week, but i wanted to get a second opinion before i wrote to cs.

i believe this card to be a red parallel as i thought the white diamonds were numbered to 125, but im not 100% sure so any help would be appreciated.

When was your submission delivered and when was it entered as received? Just trying to get an idea of when mine will be done. 

Delivered march 23

received April 24

shipped July 22

almost 4 months exactly, only a few more weeks than anticipated. still good seeing as my oldest psa order just entered month 14.
