I didn't realize that lower end modern cards were being counterfeited. I've seen a lot of cheap modern cards that were altered, but never fakes.

    In less than five-years, I doubt that even PSA
    will be able to easily tell for sure. The Asian
    print shops work on the process all day, every day.

    Anyone with experience in web press printing can EASILY counterfeit any modern card. You get yourself a good color guy and no one would ever know the better.

    If there is a dollar to be made, somebody is going to try and make it.

    I actually put together a huge list of the more common fakes if you're interested in seeing it.

    A lot of the modern fakes are probably being pawned off in those grade at home deals. It's tougher to recognize differences in the card stock through a slab and the sellers know that seasoned buyers will stay away from cards graded by unknown companies.
