PSA Holders and Star Cards

Hello - I have two quick questions (below) about the PSA holder and Star cards. I have an important Star card that is graded with a the 77xxxxxxx PSA serial number, meaning a new-ish PSA holder but not the newest version that debuted with (I think) 9xxxxxxx serial-numbered cards. (This newest holder may now be recalled, from what I've read.) In any case, my card does not sit well in the PSA holder. It is off angle a bit. It seems secure -- and I certainly don't move it around -- but I would ideally like to reholder this card at some point -- (1) for visual appeal (no odd angles); and, more importantly, (2) just to be sure that the card is secure in the holder. So here are my questions: (1) From what I can see from looking at Star cards on various selling platforms, this seems to happen often with PSA-slabbed Star cards. They often don't seem to sit well in the holder. Were Star cards printed on thinner stock than most cards in the 1980s? (2) Have others had success with reholdering Star cards with PSA? In other words, is it even worth it to pursue this option? I am lucky to live in NYC so could, in theory, attend 2025 Fanatics Fest or another in-person event in the future to get my card reholdered, but I wonder if it's even going to help. Thanks in advance for offering your thoughts!
