Is it dangerous to post pictures that show the Cert Number?

Over the last few months, I have spotted more fake slabs with legit cert numbers. I'm wondering if it's safe to post pictures of my slabs that show the Cert# -- I'm cautious because I don't want the scammers to use my Cert# on their fake slabs.

Anyone else have concerns about posting pictures that show the Cert#? Or am I being too cautious?

    Personally, I don't see the big issue. Anyone could use VCP, Ebay, cardtarget, auction houses, PSA completed auctions, etc to see the cert # for different cards. The only time I might be even remotely concerned is if it is a unique item.

    I realize and agree the scammers can use a bunch of different sites to get valid Cert#'s -- it's just that I have a few low-pop cards and didn't want to make it easy for the scammers...

    id say no. 95% of the time, the person blocks out the cert number, but leaves the barcode in tact so you can get the cert from that anyways. either way, if someone tries to add your card to their registry, its simple to prevent it or reclaim it at worst by emailing PSA with the dated scans/pics of the card in your possession. if someone wants to go through the trouble of trying to fake a card with your cert, it will most likely be horrible and obvious. and if it does happen and PSA strikes the cert, im sure they would take it back at no cost for a reslab and be issued a new cert.
