I would argue that the missing idiot resides at PSA. The seller is more like the Village Shyster.

Only PSA could "center" a card that poorly within the slab. It's an "art form" for them. A criminal would at least try to straighten and center it.

It was probably straight when they shipped it. Usually it's easy enough to tap them back into place. Not the issue here.

Looks like you guys got the last laugh on that fart-knocker.

I didn't specify which village...

Can we assume therefore that there'd been no tampering with the slab? It was strictly a case of PSA erring when they graded the card?

Does the Altered Card Database have a section for fake cards slabbed by the TPGs?

Not being snarky, I'm genuinely curious.

There's no need to be apologetic in any case. A company should be accountable for its actions.

I wasn't being apologetic, just clarifying the fact that it was a question. Fake cards in TPG holders should be documented somewhere, yes?

Even if [insert name of TPG] deactivates the cert number, there's a good chance the slabbed card will be out there. I see the value in a central repository, with images, for all these fake cards.

The Altered Card Database is a somewhat well-known (and frequently used) hobby tool. A section for fake slabbed cards would be an added dimension of utility...in my opinion, at least.

I add all cards that have been suspected of being altered, faked, mislabeled, or stolen.

There is not a specific section for fakes, but you can do a search for them.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

I love seeing justice being served.

The hobby has no room for blatant scammers.

Thanks for posting the eBay link, always glad to educate myself on these.

Good reminder that just because a card is slabbed, doesn’t mean it’s authentic
