well its true, there's no such thing as a foolproof method but I guess I think that its easier to spot a fake slab than a fake card. especially if you're dealing with an online sale. fake slabs, or slabs that have been opened so the label can be switched or what not usually have that kinda foggy look around the edges. You can see that in a photo but obviously you can't hold the card up to a bright light to see if you can see the circles when you're talking about an online purchase. I guess I'm looking at it more from that standpoint.
I guess bottom line is, do your homework, and if in doubt, best to just move on.
