DOES NOT FIT SAFELY 1 1

[ElmerB]

My Ancient Mew (2000) card, https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/3852997002/ could not be graded because it "Does not fit safely". What does that even mean? It was given an "NC" designation. This is a standard size card and it not badly miscut, so why was I charged a grading fee for this item and I was only given a $5 refund for the grading fee on this card. Plenty of other Ancient Mew cards were graded by CGC. For example, see https://www.cgccomics.com/certlookup/3760703002/. How is this card any different? Is there a certain size that it must fit for the holder? I am perplexed, so any help would be appreciated... Thank you.

added "NC" grade to the paragraph

Here are some additional photos with an evolutions Pokémon card over the Ancient Mew card. The 2nd picture shows the cards are practically identical in size, yet in the 3rd and 4th photos, I zoomed in to show there was a microscopic bit of overlap on the top and bottom on the Mew card. Is it really that oversized that is doesn't fit?

We have noticed that some Ancient Mews are just a tad bigger than a standard sized card. I do not think I have ever seen another card have this problem besides Ancient Mew, but I have seen plenty of Ancient Mews that simply do not fit in the holder. You should receive a full refund of the grading fee. Please reach out to customer service and they will get it corrected for you.

Thank you for your response. I didn't know that about Ancient Mew and will be more careful about submitting those in the future.
