PSA counterfeit cards!!! Beware

[vintagetoppsguy]

As much as I dislike PSA, I'm not sure why you think any of this is their fault. There are probably many fakes out there with that same serial number.

I'm going to buy a used Chevy Tahoe. Let me call General Motors to see if it was reported stolen.

If the question was, "PSA, is this card # stolen?"; and if their answer was "No", then you have nothing to be upset with about what PSA did. They don't provide any service at all to potential buyers, and they knew not of the card being stolen.

Take some personal responsibility for the situation in which you've gotten yourself. Some lessons... be knowledgeable about what you're buying, buy from a reputable or trustworthy source, have a return policy.

Personally, I'd add be sufficiently knowledgeable about what you're buying that you don't need to rely on third party grading, which can be wrong (or as you've learned tampered with).

You want to call the authorities, not the sports authorities. I'm asuming,since you paid cash, you probably acquired the card in person. I'd do something, in person, but that's just me.

Paying that much money in cash for something off Craigslist? And I'm assuming you thought this was a bargain compared to the prices on ebay... You'll need to chalk it up to a very expensive lesson, and I don't think PSA deserves any blame here. I'm surprised Joe Orlando even took your call.

Something just doesn't add up here. If you really have 25 years in this hobby (and you're a dealer), surely you've heard of the Craigslist scams (or at least cracking slabs and replacing the cards).

Nice work. This is going to get interesting.
