Too bad this Kobe PSA 10 might not hit $2K and be subject to the eBay Authenticity Gurantee

I think the slab looks a little "off" with some frosting around the lower edges.

NOTE: Same seller sold this exact card late March. Did the buyer not pay? or was the card returned?

Cert comes up legit. Are you thinking someone may have swapped it out?

Just went back and looked at the PSA photo. PSA's picture is way better but it looks like the same card. However, you are right, the holder looks different. Could it just be due to the quality of the pic?

Looks like they have a lot of light at some high angles to make the slab look that way.

Look at the edges of the case. Doesn’t look good where the frost is. Looks like they opened the bottom edge pried it open half way.

It does look sorta weird. I thought the new cases were impregnable to this sort of thing?

you compare the rear bottom of the slab vs the PSA photos, its obvious its been tampered with. there's extra frosting along the bottom that itsnt in the PSA photos, not to mention shards of plastic debris.

PSA should strike this cert until the card is sent back in for inspection.

Well that sucks. I hate this sort of BS. @Dictoresno, your avatar is straight up creepy!

Go back to auction & look at pic of the back of card / slab.
It looks like a piece of tape or something on card or slab.
Right through the text on card.
Does not look right. KOBE Name on back in yellow. Starts at end of O through the B, across the back.

That's the flap of the graded card sleeve it's in.

the cards themselves look pretty much identical, no idea if they are indeed the same or not. but these two spots dont match across the two cards....
