This sure looks like a fake label to me. Link

    Isn't that what the first labels used to look like?

    It looks somehow familiar to me...

    I have some early PSA cards with that odd print style on the flip. An even earlier print style looked like somebody was making the flips on their old manual Corona typewriter with one typeface -- Monospace Courier. Marshall Fogel's 1952 Mantle PSA 10 has that kind of primitive flip.

    I still think im right look at the link rather than the photo. Wolfbear tried to make it bigger and its not as clear. Ive never seen a label that didnt have the white curved at the corners. Also the bar code and some of the lettering is too close the the edge.

    LOL, psa can do nothing besides contact ebay about it, but ebay has all the power.

    Wouldn't it be quite difficult to simulate the back of the flap, what with the hologram and all?

    I dunno.

    It does look a little strange, but I too have some older PSA holders that look different than todays.

    The back photo could be any card from any auction.

    Fake. Shut it down.

    I've seen the old flips and this is not one of them. Also, the high bidders on this auction have either private feedback or very low feedback. Seems like a blatant bogus auction to me.

When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I'm going with FAKE... for a few reasons.

    1. The card number, the grade, and the cert number are all not prefectly aligned up on the right side as with all other PSA cards.
    2. The auction looks like it is being shilled. The main bidder on the auction (dbestcardz) has only been a member of ebay for 3 weeks, and his feedback is private.

    Plus it looks like half the bidders on the entire auction are people who have been ebay members for less than 2 or 3 weeks.

    If it looks fishy, smells fishy, and tastes fishy, it probably fish.

    I think my first reason though proves its a fake. I've never seen a PSA card where all the info on the right didn't line up perfectly.

    Is there any way that we can enhance the second picture (the back) to get a better view of the seller's reflection? That way, we could do a retinal scan and get his identity and cross reference that with the FBI's list of known card scammers.

    And I say fake. Any high dollar cards with private feedback on either side is bunk. And the picture sucks. And the flip looks funny. I would spend the money on cases of 1988 Topps.

    It is hard to believe that a 5 year EBAY seller with a relatively blemish free feedback would be part of a scam of this magnatude.....if indeed it is a scam.!!

    Doesn't the "c" in Michael look like it has a different font? It really doesn't look right.

    maybe it's a bad scanner. Cert # matches up
    Running an Ebay store sure takes a lot more time than a person would think!

    One can eaisly photoshop a legit cert. number onto a home made label...
  • larryallen73larryallen73 Posts: 6,061 ✭✭✭
    High feedback so I bet it's legit or at least the seller thinks it's legit. I wouldn't bid on the card but I think it's legit. I have a couple of strange looking flips that I am confident are real... since they are very modest cards (i.e. '75 Yount PSA 7) and most people don't duplicate cheaper cards like that.

    From the item description...

    Whether he is a shill or not, dbestcardz knows his reprints.

    Before bidding I'd ask for a large high resolution scan of the card. You should be able to see from that whether or not the card is real and have a better idea if the flip is real.

    I'm sure it's a legitimate card in the holder, but definitely not that grade. The reason the corners of the white area are square is because someone probably used there Photoshop software and cropped the "legitimate information" from an original PSA 10 Michael Jordan and pasted it over the lesser quality card you see up for auction.
