Speaking of Magazine Grading

I picked this up a while back because it has Lebron RCs in it. But, PSA won't grade these cards. I heard they can't accurately date the card. The magazine is from the 2002 National, I think. There is a PSA ad in the magazine. I've also heard that the whole magazine has been counterfeited.

    I bought this at 7-11 in West Los Angeles around 1990. They had a whole stack of them. I've never opened it up to find the sports section.

    The counterfeits appeared not long after the mag's release. In this case nothing to do with back issue value - at least when they first started to appear. They rolled them off the press and raked in the cover price.

    The pool on this like Baseball Beckett #1 is polluted. I don't blame PSA for not wanted to touch them, CGC might as their only concern is getting you to fork over cash to them.
