Acetate Yamamoto bad corner??

[seegs]

if it's a known defect they should replace it

I traded for a Getzlaf 3clr Cup RC Au Patch /199 way back in 05/06. The card had some minor surface damage, like a small dent in the card. I emailed UD and asked if they would replace, they asked for my receipt and I told them I no longer had it. I politely told them that I was lucky enough to save my money for arguably the most anticipated Hockey release in current memory and was just happy I was able to afford a box. When I got around to scanning my new cards I had found the damage, thats why I no longer had any proof of purchase. I asked them to replace the card with the same card and if possible, the exact same patch.

In the end, I got a new minty Getz rookie, same serial number and everything, with an upgraded logo patch. Just be nice, kiss a little bit of ™™™, and they will happily help you. I actually enclosed a written letter when returning the card, after speaking with someone on the phone with everything I said and thats why I believe they upgraded my patch.

I am not sure if you've already told them you purchased your card damaged, but just tell them you were so happy with their product and your great pull ... which was immediately followed by disappointment because of the damage, and you have all the faith in the world their great company will make it right. In the end, you might get a little extra for your troubles.

too bad on hearing thateveryone's acetate young guns are damaged from the factory. Got a Logan Brown in a group break and all the corners are great! Are these cards worth being graded?

Did you send the receipt and upc code?

Yes I did.

Yes I did.

Did you get the exact same card back?

Nope...was very aware of the corner when I bought it..being a rare card you can't be very "choosey" and look for another one.
I've emailed upper deck and they confirmed it's a defect from the factory. I'll be keeping the card despite the Corner, unless I could get a replacement card.
My question now is, since it's a defect from upper deck, how does it affect it from being graded?
Is it even worth it to get it graded?

If you end up having to keep the card, I personally wouldn't bother spending the money to get it graded.

It doesn't matter how the damage occurred (factory damage from UD, dropped on the floor, chewed by the family dog, etc.), damaged is damaged when it comes to grading. With that damaged corner it would not be worth grading unless you want it in the graded card slab for your PC.

I will have to wait and see.

When do you expect to get your card back?
Like to know if you get direct replacement before sending mine in
