The authenticity program works at its purpose: making money. It is not for PSA to actually admit they’ve wrongly graded thousands and thousands of items. That’s why they’re “authenticating” the slab, so they don’t have to actually do anything and can just get a cut on the card again.

With so many new graders I am sure this just got by one who didn't know the issue which is a bit unusual in that it's got perforations from being separated from a sheet. Still. And an "authenticity guarantee" that covers nothing more than the holder itself is IMO fairly meaningless.

+1 agree do not roll out the guarantee until you have the resources to guarantee it.

Take it up with PSA. If you report it using their APR tool once the sale posts, PSA will sometimes recall the item and decertify it. They would also have to shell out on their Grade Guarantee.

Fixing a problem? Being part of the solution? What's the fun in that.

It’s always interesting to compare:

The number of posters who have an issue with the incompetence of PSA that is being reported

Versus

The number of posters who have an issue that the incompetence of PSA is being publicly reported

It’s my understanding that this is correct. They are looking to make sure that the slab is authentic and unaltered, and not really looking at the card at all. Mark my words, slabbed slabs are coming!
