Yea, me too, I really thought that line was hilarious...

Anyway, about the important issue --- this is rather disturbing. I wish the scan was of higher resolution so that we could really analyze the card without it in hand.

My opinion... First card/case/slip is legit. Second has fake slip and fake card front in a real case.

This new fake PSA 7 Cobb is up for auction next month, wonder what other cards have been fabricated. :(

wow...
 
Just plain scary. I still think there should be some sort of invisible stamp that the TPG's should use that the industry would accept....in addition to scanning every single graded card. if someone can replicate a holder and card that well, change is a must!

This is an example of why this hobby is at risk unless these companies do something quickly to get a better holder that is more secure. Does any one know if they are gonna upgrade the cases soon? This is why I tend to like Beckett.

Font looks right. Card looks right. Back looks right. What problems are you seeing with this PSA 7? Can't speak for the holder but the card looks good to me.

In my opinion... the 7 shares several printing anomalies with the second card at the start of this thead. Left shoulder too bright, right ear too dark, "R" in Detroit too bold, No printers marks at top and bottom of frame. It doesn't look like a typical Cobb green portrait to me. Just my opinion. Not a statement of fact.

Maybe they resubmitted and got a bump! :D

PSA announced at the recent National convention that they are changing holder designs. It's the same size, and still stackable with older style slabs, but the new slab is more secure.

link to one thread over at CU discussing the new holder

Just heard from Sports Card Link and the PSA 7 green Cobb was checked by Mr Orlando and verified not authentic. Nice to see an AH pull the auction, resubmit and be open about it.

npa589 09-28-2013 08:44 PM

Very good to hear, and thanks for pointing this out Chris!
