moving on.

if joe o should happen to peruse this thread, here's a couple of things to possibly think about:

there are 2 levels of fees: $7 and $35.

what are the security measures in place on cards sent in solely for "reholders"?

when someone sends a card in for a reholder, does that guarantee authenticity as well?

you can see where I am going w/ this....

just want to make sure there isn't a back door security breach that could/would need to be addressed.

while i understand the letter you sent out is probably preformatted and the particulars simply filled in, i did not see any compromised sonic welds or case obstructions. to put it bluntly: those holders were damn good!

not expecting a reply in any manner.

if everyone thinks tampered holders look good and only the experts at PSA can tell the difference, that does sound like a problem. Perhaps PSA can show more detail into how to tell the tampering is evident to people who arent experts..

i did ask jackie (joe o's secretary) this question and to point out exactly where on the case it was compromised and she informed me that joe would only talk to the authorities or someone at one of my financial institutions in regards to getting my refund. she said he would not discuss the holder being comprised at all.

i wasn't inquiring to go on a witch hunt, rather looking to ascertain some knowledge on what exactly i should be looking for on these technologically advanced fakes so that i can know what to look for moving forward.

previous versions were fish in a barrel. with overlabels and flashlight tests, conflicting barcode scans vs. cert numbers, frosting here, cracking there, cloudy adhesive everywhere, etc.

this round of fakes were not. im still impressed.

Great sense of humor

As if PSA really gave a crap. As was already said, they knew about re-sealed slabs over a decade ago, but only recently decided to improve their slab.
