Bottom of the NinthStefan and Craig,
What part of CA were these two selling from? And Stefan did you notify local authorities?
I see the frosted part of the holder on the Cobb but the holders look pretty legit. Maybe in person their having been cracked is more evident but from scans it is difficult to tell.
Sorry both of you got taken. Seems PSA is going to have to do a bit more to prevent this new wave of scam. Would have thought that the WIWAG situation would have made them more proactive in making things like this more difficult to pull off. Being able to do a cert check is nice but unless you are going to register the card you may not know that there are 4 Cobbs with the same cert number floating around.
Kevin S has already showed us that buffing out the holder after it has been opened is very possible and leaves no evidence of it once having been sealed. Not sure there is any way to prevent this kind of tampering but no longer can you buy sight unseen unless you know who you are buying from.
