Yes, all the time. If you're new to wax packs, I would only buy graded ones until you learn to spot the fakes. I think you can trust PSA since Steve Hart does their authenticating. You can trust most of the GAI older flip stuff too.

I suggest buying Mark Murhpy's Unopened Pack Guide. It tells you how to identify tampered packs (i.e. roller marks, corner folds, etc). I don't know if it's in print any longer though.
