Suspicious Flips

A lot of high end cards here. Strange though - these fonts look a bit off.

For some reason, I think I saw that Aaron's certificate number before.

Hmm

  • Those are ALL bad! anyone bidding on them is getting scammed
  • Looks as if the top half on both sides and top seam are white as if cracked...
    Any team on any given Sunday, can beat any other team...unless they were playing the Miami Dolphins in 1972.

  • Other than the overall look of the fonts, pay close attention to the number "0" which tends to be wider, the number "5" which is usually more closed and the "#" sign which is typically more slanted on real PSA fonts. These are just a "few" things to look at.

    Another way to check out those questionable flips is to compare the bar codes. As in these cards being auctioned, they each seem to line up a little too close:

    Here are some comparisons using the above flips along with some that are known to be real. You can make the determination...just something to think about.

    Hope this helps!

    onlychild...fantastic info....
    I saw the aaron and thought it looked nice. I did notice the frosting on the case edge......cound't afford the card anyways.
    Looking at his feedback....100% means nothing.....no real backgroung selling large $ cards. Gaps in feedback history...

    I buy PSA cards for the security of a genuine card graded correctly. More and more we need to take a very very close second look.
