Etsy...sigh
 

As I try by best to stay researched on fakes and trends for myself and others safety, sometimes the stuff you find that no one else seems to care about is just silly. For less than the price of a box of Twinkies you can have this program. Tell me some completely unknowing grandparent or parent of a new kid collector sees this right off the bat.

Love the description:

That's cringeworthy.

OMFG. Grading shenanigans from the majors are bad enough as it is without crap like that. I hope someone from PSA does see that and stops them.

They have been making them for a long time. I have even seen them on reality TV shows before.

I have seen the programs without the PSA logo (excuse me..."P8A", lol) for years on end. This is the first one I personally noticed so boldly advertised with the logo on a major site. I completely believe you, I just think this really is ballsy to throw out there so openly.

Yes, but other than the P8A part of the label it is clearly not one. If you scan the code thingy it takes you to the Etsy site.
