Here are a few of my 1969 fakes.

These were readily available on eBAY for about $2 each until about 2018 when they cracked down on sellers due to many complaints.

These 69s are the right size. ...

The fakes I have are 1968-1973 Topps Baseball. The 1969s are especially well-counterfeited.

My first Topps cards purchased from wax packs as a kid were 1968 but I really dove in to cards in 1969. I had probably 5000 or more but most disappeared over the years.

I do the same. I enjoy opening the late 80s packs just for the fun of that.

I break out every slabbed card that I buy to complete my sets.

The point is to get you to crack the card from it's holder and resubmit.

The only thing PSA cares about is money for 20 seconds work.

If it's a single card and not something in plentiful supply then they're often in no real hurry.
