Duplicate 1/1’s - the PSA authentication of the slab would not impact this. Panini screwing up again (or Topps) won’t lead to this being rejected by the PSA check of the slab.
Cards with different patches - if it’s slabbed, PSA is authenticating the slab not the card. If PSA screwed up again and slabbed a card with a swapped patch, it will pass the authentication.
Fake Jordan’s getting slabbed - PSA authenticates the slab is real for the graded card program; would not catch this. The raw version might, but not a fake slabbed Jordan.
