PSA Damages PSA 10 Lenticular Deoxys During Reholdering

A collector sent their PSA 10 Lenticular Deoxys for reholdering, only to have PSA damage the card during encapsulation, dropping it to a PSA 6. PSA offered approximately $19,250 in compensation, valuing the PSA 10 at $20,000 and the PSA 6 at $750. PSA's valuation appears to be based on averaging recent comps, but the collector disputes it given the most recent sale reached $45,000 on February 22, 2026.

The card is a 2004 Japanese Movie Commemoration VS Pack lenticular promo with only 38 PSA 10s out of 1,927 total graded. The lenticular surface makes achieving a 10 especially difficult.
