Thanks Kevin. Can you tell us if you've seen a complete conterfeit SGC, GAI or Beckett holder w/flip out in the marketplace? Not just fake flips or opened holders, but the "whole thing" faked (like the PSA examples above).


No, I have not seen a counterfeit slab....yet. Let alone all three together. That sould be scary if perfected.

IMO if one experiments and cracks enough slabs they will have enough to make some clean examples or they can be simply (actually not so simple) buffed to an acceptable level to fool the average collector. Except for the Beckett slab.

Not sure there is anything else that can be done. Had a pleasant discussion with Joe O. several months ago and offered my services to help their senior graders for free. This is what can offer the hobby and I only live about 20 miles away from PSA. Guess they don't need or want the help but it's still available.
