Kevin SaucierI'm with Leon....nothing is ever really safe.
Here is what I know:
PSA & SGC flips can be made close to perfection. PSA from an original and SGC from scratch. They have no safeguards. As mentioned, someone on the PSA staff (?) could not tell they had a made-flip when the system was tested over a year ago.
Global flips, at this time, are the best against forgery.
Beckett holders, to the best of my knowledge, cannot be cracked without showing signs of tampering and offer the best protection for all cards (security, UV, movement, holder damage, waterproof, etc)...no one is even close.
GAI & Becket are open to new ideas and will request assistance in an effort to improve their product.
Here is practice flip made from an orignal, printed intentionally at a slight angle to show it's fake. This particular flip was chosen because it could not be from a cracked holder, it only exists at PSA where it is/was displayed as shown, in a black & white picture in SMR.
