Shortly after joining this board, I read about the fake slabs presumably coming out of Mexico. It seemed serious enough that I added the extra inspection step when buying anything graded. I guess the vigilance has stuck with me to this day.

Eric, glad you investigate, but I am not sure the modern flipper is doing this. I think they think once it is in a slab, who cares, it is plastic gold.

Agreed. The relative newcomer is likely not looking too far past the flip...and maybe the centering/eye appeal of the card.
