My 52 mantle cert number used in counterfeit

[Delray Vintage]

After several back and forth emails with PSA they have given me the option to personally drop off the 52 Mantle or mail it. I know mine is the genuine one based on numerous tests of authenticity including a loupe, light tests and label inspection. So I guess I can just wait until I want to sell it which may be never or jusr wait until I attend a National and have PSA look at it. It does not sound like they would give me a new cert number just reactivate it. No way will I mail it and risk losing it.They offered me insurance but still not anxious to send it.

I get the discomfort level, but if it goes both ways by registered mail the odds of it being lost are essentially zero.

Yes I get that but since I know it is genuine I am reluctant to take any risks of PSA handling the card.All they will do is remove the temporary deactivation and take detailed scans of my card in case my cert is used again for counterfeits. So I might just wait until I attend a National where they will inspect it and hand it back to me.My real concern was mine might be a counterfeit but after pulling it from the safe deposit box and examining it with a loupe it is real.It is interesting that it took 14 years for someone to use the cert number.

I wouldn't mail. Take it to them personally. I'll see you at the National in Chicago, Bob beer chug.gif

Thanks have not been to one since Baltimore. Sounds like fun.
