Bottom card, of course. The top card looks miscut and short.

Bottom. Not even debatable
To my eye, the top card looks badly trimmed.
Would you believe that both cards are cert. #40999911? Yep. The second pic was obtained from cert. verification.
The "first" card is on ebay in an auction ending this evening. PSA 8.

Fake slab I’d wager
The 1st one is poorly trimmed. It's beyond obvious.
edit: no idea why the font size increased on the original post lol
2 and not close.
Well at least the sucker who bought it only paid $459 instead of the usual $2,750.

I’m curious whether the consignor is aware or if they’re just oblivious/ don’t care. It’s an auth guarantee listing.
That'$ $ome funny ar$e $hit!
That seller is a disaster. Numerous negs and I've seen some of their other auctions. This happens quite regularly.
This consigner has a bunch of obvious trimmed PSA slabs up for auction. The consigner is a part of the problem but he'd never have the cards to consign in the first place if they were not somehow slabbed by PSA.
2 obviously. first one is terribly trimmed
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
The first card was never slabbed by PSA. It's a bogus card in a bogus holder being sold by a bogus company.
Here's a link to completed sales from yesterday, December 29th. If you scroll down a bit, you'll see the 1971 Topps Reggie PSA 8, which is a farce. A little further down you'll find a PSA 9 Dave Winfield 1974 Topps Rookie and a little further down a PSA 9 Hank Aaron 1976 Topps card, both totally bogus slabs. The seller is QuickConsign out of Pittston, PA. Beware.

Wouldn't these be sold at a high enough rate to be verified before delivery? There's no way they'd make it through that, right? These type schemes will easily be uncovered so the payoff seems unlikely.
Question is how many will make it through PSA Authentication? If the answer is is greater than 0 then PSA really needs focus on doing their job rather than selling cards at auction
BTW the amount of total m0r0ns who bid solely on flips without looking at card is staggering. Some, not me, might say those rubes deserves to be fleeced

Looks like a photo shopped image print out. Don’t think anything about it looks legit?
Slight paper loss on back of #1

if PSA found out someone was faking their slabs multiple times, wouldn't they go after them?
If and only If it benefit$ them to do so.

I'm no expert on flips but this one looks bad and it doesn't look like a PSA holder?
You’re an expert! Bogus card, holder and flip. The seller has sold multiple examples of high grade fakes. As already mentioned - BEWARE!!!
Buh buh buh it's centered...

It's an ultra rare 1971 mini
I was thinking it might be a Topps Promotional Insert card from this year's release of the Toddlers With Scissors Collection. The grading department just missed it. Shrug.
Mini? It fits the case perfectly. Copy paste print out put in a fake case. Possibly who knows.
Some id10t spent 459 on it! If the imbecile is very lucky it wont pass PSA authentication. A horrid indictment on PSA if it does pass.
BTW unless the seller is completely feeble minded they knew it was a fake but sold it anyway. Which IMHO makes them total crooks!

Another fine example of not buying the card but buying the holder instead.
