Posting scans incl. PSA certification #'s?
At the risk of coming off paranoid, has anyone else ever thought that showing the PSA certification # in anything but sales threads is a bad idea, in terms of giving counterfeiters more information to work with? e.g. If I have a PSA certified 33 Goudey Ruth, and I post it in a pickups thread, I've now shared a legitimate PSA certification # for that card with anyone who wants to try to fake a slab.
Or is there enough cert information out there on Ebay, sales threads, etc. that it's unecessary paranoia? I suppose if it's a big card and is regularly exchanging hands in online sales, the cert # is probably going to be reasonably familiar to folks anyway. Thoughts? |

That info is so readily available that the few that block it out are wasting their time in my opinion. |

Admittedly, I only have a handful of graded cards, so it's not something that overly affects me at this point. But as I age (I'm only mid-30's) and the collection grows, it might be something I'd think more about. |
You can find a number anywhere, even on the PSA website.
How many people have a gallery for their collection? It's worrying that dropping a pebble in a river will redirect the current...nothing will help prevent fraud other than PSA changing things and at minimum making a better slab. |

I do not think that resealing is as scary as straight up having molds made in China, which I believe is happening. I would like a case more expensive to create like Becketts instead of the budget slabs Psa and SGC use. Also I have an idea they can have for free that I think would be revolutionary. I want them to add QR codes to replace the UPC. These can be easily scanned by a smart phone and those codes would show a picture of the graded card on your phone for comparison. Winner. |

I am not sure how much collectors will pay for additional security? That being said, maybe at a certain level the grading should come with additional security. WIth the cost of grading, especially at the highest levels you would think the cost could be absorbed. |
