Psa flip experts needed!!!

[begsu1013]

disclaimer: this is NOT my card, but it was attempted to be sold to me a few months back and is currently still being shopped around. I know this is the wrong forum, but hoping for a little leniency considering the value, potential harm this thing could cause another collector and the fact that my question is in regards to the flip itself, not the era of the card in it:

I do have my opinion, but what is the general consensus on this flip?

i concur...I see a flip.

For a card of this value, go directly to PSA. If something is wrong, they are the folks to deal with it. Good luck.

wondo,

I tried that a few months back and never even got a reply.

Here is the original card.....



It was sold by Memory Lane in 2009. There are some spots of yellow in the green banner that aren't showing up in yours. You can always call Memory Lane and they can get you in touch with who won the card in 2009.

The crazy thing is that the original card does not even appear to be a 10. It has a very slight cant or tilt to the left and is not perfectly centered which is more evident along the right border. I realize this is not the point of this discussion but it is crazy to see some of these 10s in holders bringing multiple thousands above Mint 9 prices when in fact, they appear or could be interchangeable on any given day. I think those that pay those premiums are CRAZY!

I see what appears to be frosting running the length of the left side of the holder. It appears that it was opened and re-closed.

This is a very sophisticated fake created by someone working out of Mexico. In hand you can quickly and easily tell the flip is off. The holder is real, the card is real, the back of the flip is real but does not match the generation of the slab it is contained in. I was offered this card about 5 or 6 months ago with a large grouping of items. This crook is prominent and using tons of pawns to distribute his junk in the states while never coming anywhere near the border.
