Default eBay seller mailing fake slabs in lots to fool Authenticity Guarantee

Seller was submitting cards, cracking them out to get the flips and resumbit, then using the flip with an even worse card or counterfeit to seal in a fake slab.

That scam would have worked way better before there was pics of most graded cards available. Hopefully they got caught before they put thousands of them out there.

You got it.

And no matter your politics, the feather handed approach to criminal activities does nothing to dissuade copycats or new players in the scam business. I don't see that changing.

I just read those threads in detail and from what I can follow, the notches/blocks/tabs on the fake slabs seem to be the giveaway. I need to double check the slabs I own to see if any look out-of-sort.

+1 totally agree. Wherever the money is, that's where the criminal element will be.

Thanks for posting this, John. Why do these things always seem to start in January? It's as if people make a resolution to find a new scam.
