not sure if there exists a dedicated thread for ebay (or other sites, eg craigslist) posts that seem suspicious / fake...

Anyone think the font on this PSA header looks "off"?

I also wonder whether a card with wax stain on the back could merit a grade of 6.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Maybe overgraded by a bit (looks more like a 5 to me) but I think that's just an earlier gen PSA slab.

I'm not sure if the font looks off, but the alignment on the name and bar code seems more to the center of the label than usual. It could just the way the person typed it, but I try to avoid anything that looks remotely suspicious. There have been scammers making fake PSA labels for long enough that it's only a matter of time before they perfect it to the point where they look identical to the real thing.
