I would say the big thing to look for is resealed slabs. PSA slabs are by far the easiest to crack and reseal with little to no evidence. PSA does let counterfeits slide through but I believe that to be a very small percentage of counterfeit cards in PSA slabs.

if anyone has avail, I would like to see a fake in a new hologramed holder.

frost free and crisp.

everyone makes mistakes, but I assume you are talking in regards to older / resealed holders correct?

if it's a new, frost free one then we might have problems....

Here is a picture of a new PSA slab with counterfeit card in it. Yes I was talking about the old slabs being easy to crack and reseal. I have not cracked a new holder yet but hear they are great.

What gives that one away as a fake?

is worth less than grading. Smart move by the counterfitters. PSA mistake not the same as a reseal job.

Easy way from the picture is the recropped picture in the middle. In hand they are not even close to a real card. Thinner card stock, dot pattern in grey bars is different, cards are cut small, ink quality, obvious signs of being rescreened, I could go on and on. The person that graded this card as real should not have a job grading cards.

Yes just the normal happens several times a day PSA mistake. It is a well known counterfeit card that sells for around $100 raw. PSA has slabbed 4 of them and to my knowledge none have been sold on the open market and all 4 are owned by different Net54 members.
