Another example of why I feel a photo database is necessary, at least for high end cards. How hard would it be for PSA to take a picture for any card worth a couple of grand or more and post them? It could be tied into the registry and prevent some of these fakes from fooling other collectors.

I know that a scam is possible with any card, but as I keep reading about one scam after another with iconic/high grade cards, it makes me glad that most of what I pursue are obscure/low-grade cards.

Not having done it previously is no excuse for not starting it now.

On the real card it has the grade NM-MT on one row and then an 8 on the next row, on the fake NM-MT and the 8 are on the same row.

If the two flips are legitimate designs, as the flip has changed over time, the same card could have been reholdered and thus be in two different scans with two different flip designs, and yet have the same serial number. Point being that two different flip designs alone-- provided of course they are both legit flip designs which PSA used, and the card is identical in both scans-- is not proof positive of one card being a fake.

My concern with an online database of high-quality scans of every card is that those scans will be used to make reprints/select & alter lower-grade cards so that the cards will be excellent matches for everyting in the online database.

As for altering a lower grade card to make it a close match, that's also valid. But clearly altering low grade cards to make them look better is happening anyway, and I would rather have a photo database and be an informed consumer rather than not have it and lack the opportunity for due diligence on my own. |
