I’ve been back in the hobby (albeit pretty intensely) for about a month now after a 27-year hiatus, and even I can tell that this is bullshit in 5 seconds. I’ve seen terrible fake PSA slabs as well.
I’m also an IP lawyer, and if the TPGs care at all about brand integrity, they should be sending cease and desist letters to these con artists. eBay will never take down a listing unless it misuses a federally registered trademark without altering the mark in any way, and even then it’s like pulling teeth. But the TPGs have protectable trade dress rights in the appearance of their slabs, which they should be asserting.
