Here was the fake Roger he sold on Tuesday vs. the real one:

Perhaps we need to tell the Forger he needs to change the OC to MC to really sell the deal.

Hmm, I don' get what's going on here. Is he photoshopping them??

I think he is putting real cards in far worse condition, printing off matching labels and putting the cards in cracked or created cases. Could be wrong, but that is sort of what it looks like.

A quick search on Alibaba reveals dirt cheap counterfeit PSA cases that you can seal yourself. I imagine we will be seeing a lot more of this in the future.

Yet another reason for me to no longer use Ebay.... Its really become the wild west (or the dark web)

A real PSA case has an embossed logo in the bottom right corner of the case. That's another way to tell the fake from the real case.

Appears to be on these examples

The 2 real ones have a discernible PSA in the photo, on the fake Mantle and Roger the picture is blurrier so it is hard to tell, but both look like they do not have the PSA which suggests 3rd party slabs with fake labels instead of cracking PSA slabs with fake labels.

For completeness, here is the fake 1960 Mikita and fake 1977 Rookie Outfielders (real ones are the high quality images):

Sorry for double posting, couldn't figure out how to add pictures to a post via editing.
