The “void” seal is so laughably bad that you can swap any card into it too. As none of the documentation comes with anything that identifies the actual card, you can just easily swap in anything and claim it was verified.

Isn't there some scannable code that identifies the card?

Yes, but you’d only get that after you receive the fraud and the seller has run off with the cash. I don’t see this as a way to scam on eBay itself, but selling on the forums and discords, it’s probably going to crop up. The presentation looks good but doesn’t identify the card beyond the code that no one will run even if they get a close up to actually scan in advance (how many buyers are running PSA cert numbers before the purchase? 1%?)

To add insult to injury for the long lag time, their silly little blue holder is worthless and adds no value at all. When I receive one, the first thing I do is liberate my card and trash the blue turd.
