PSA/DNA Red vs Blue

I know that the red label is desirable because it authenticates the card, but I have some blue labels that say the actual card issue and not just "trading card". I can't add any of the blue labels to the set registry. If the blue label names the card issue, like 1986 Fleer, would that mean they authenticated the card?

The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.

    No, they never authenticated the card with blue labels. That area of confusion (and related liability) is why they switched to Trading Card only.

    So in this example even though it says 2007 Finest, PSA is not authenticating the card at all, correct? Thanks!

    To my knowledge that is correct. I'm sure there are better experts out there. Now for that particular card I don't believe there is a particular risk of being a reprint but for some other cards the red label would be a significant upgrade because it does authenticate the card. That being said, there can be significant value in buying a card that is in a blue label that you feel is authentic and converting it over to a red flip (if you are correct in your assessment).
