Don’t be cheated

Doing some quick research looks like these are 1970s Larry Fritsch reprints not made to deceive but being artificially aged by unscrupulous people to pass off as authentic. Thank goodness PSA is never wrong LOL CAVIOT EMPTOR or something like that as the saying goes!!!!

Great catch! Well done! I bought an Ernie Banks game used bat years ago - like many moons ago from a MAJOR auction house - and when it arrived, it came with a PSA COA for Ernie’s autograph….let me repeat - a PSA COA for the autograph….problem is, the bat was never signed…..

Buyer beware - do your research - never trust third party authenticators - buy the card not that slab…..just sayin’

If the original submitter was the consignor, PSA wouldn't really owe them anything. If it was bought by the consignor somewhere along the way, PSA would technically owe them the current equivalent value of a real card in that condition, per their grade guarantee.

Compared to a real one of those don’t look very real!

The serial number and flip indicate that this card was probably graded about 20 years ago, maybe more. I doubt you'll learn much by trying to figure out who consigned it.

The right side of the slab looks pretty frosty. Could be a legit card was graded and removed to be replaced by this one.
