And I would rather have an authentic card in a tamper-proof and fake-proof slab than a completely fake slab or a slab that was tampered with. How many BGS slabs have been faked or tampered with? Zero??? How many for PSA? Thousands upon thousands of high dollar to mega-high dollar cards. PSA's slabs are a joke. How can anyone trust ANY high dollar PSA graded card as being legit. I mean, Christ. What would stop someone from buying a high-dollar PSA card, cracking the card out, putting in a lesser card and re-selling it, all the while retaining the original card that can also be regraded and resold at a later date. It's like doubling your money. All because PSA doesn't want to pony up for fake-proof/tamper-proof slabs?

If you can bring yourself to deny that, we are done here.
P.S. Still waiting on that ONE instance of a completely fake or tampered-with BGS slab... Last edited by sportscardtheory; 03-02-2016 at 12:08 PM. |

I'm not denying anything. I am sure this has been going on for some time, but I really have no idea about the volume. If you do, say what you know.

PSA is clearly the best TPG at actual grading, but if you can't trust whether or not any of their slabs are real or un-tampered-with, and you have to run in circles trying to authenticate the freaking slabs, what good is that grading reputation. Serious question. I mean, think about that. You have to jump through hoops to AUTHENTICATE THE FREAKING SLABS. What good is a TPG if you have to AUTHENTICATE THE FREAKING SLABS. I get that people want to protect their investments by defending PSA, but you better start caring about this issue because it's only getting worse, which WILL affect PSA's reputation in the future, which WILL affect the value of your PSA graded cards in the future. Take heed.

How can we ever truly know which PSA graded card is real and/or untampered with. This is my point. It's scary and the more I think of it, the less I want to put into PSA graded cards. I get that BGS kinda sucks as a grader, but at least their slabs can't be altered or faked. This isn't some non or minor issue, the integrity of PSA's entire brand is at stake and they aren't doing anything other than slight changes that can still be replicated by scam artists.

How can we ever truly know that all of these so-called vintage cards weren't really created yesterday with a vintage press, using vintage ink on vintage cardboard? Besides, I'm pretty sure we're all living in the Matrix anyhow. |

'...PSA case to china and had hundreds of thousands reproduced for almost nothing.' This was 8+ years ago. I mean, you have been here since 2009 and have never heard of fake and/or tampered-with PSA slabs by the thousands. Last edited by sportscardtheory; 03-02-2016 at 12:23 PM. |

I have been talking about "future" in all my posts. The upswing you speak of is great for now, but what about when the severity of the problem starts to settle-in to mainstream hive-mind. You think it will always stay a non-mainstream issue? The day it becomes main-stream, this bubble will pop and there will be many left holding the bill. And it could all be avoided if PSA simply created a tamper-proof/fake-proof slab. I mean why wouldn't they want to protect their buyers? Isn't that the entire point of TPGs, to protect consumers? This issue seems to be the exact opposite of that. No protection whatsoever. No safety.

Good point. Even more reason to be weary, IMO. Nothing is safe at this point. They should have had real slabs a long time ago.
