Fake 1952 Bowman Willie Mays in PSA case?

I am also curious about the potato phone.

I googled it, potato phone is slang for a low tech, poor quality phone or phone camera. Edited to add, wouldn't going through all the trouble of putting a counterfeit poor condition 1952 Bowman Willie Mays into a tampered 1.5 PSA case be like putting a lot of work and effort into turning a legitimate one dollar bill into a counterfeit five dollar bill? Edited again, it sold for $189 so I guess there would be a profit motive.

its an online joke, if something is low quality especially a video or photo people say something like "what the F***, did you take that with a potato??"

especially on youtube if something is under 720P, or just horrible quality video.

That card is not fake. It actually looks like a very nice PSA 1.5. You should be thrilled and take the advice of someone before that said "send it to PSA immediately" and get it in a fresh holder. If there is a problem then just open a case with Ebay but I am positive you will be fine.

That makes sense about the potato phone. I guess I'm not up on all the internet slang.

Good luck with the Mays. Hopefully you can get it into a new holder.

Thanks for all the help and advise. Id love to keep it if its legit and I dont mind spending the $20+ for the reholder but my question is IF PSA did deem it altered or something, will they return it back in the same holder so I can file a claim? I would think theyd crack it out before they send it back and wouldnt that effect my claim process? Thanks again guys.

That's a good question, and I would assume they would not return a fake card to you in a PSA case, but I don't know the answer. I would suggest calling the PSA customer support number. I have found them to be very helpful.
