Authentic PSA Card?
Hi everybody!
I recently started looking into getting some of my trading cards graded by PSA. I was surprised by the pricing, however. The $20 per card seems reasonable enough to me, but the $55 fees for so few cards just kinda makes it expensive. So I figured I’d just rebuy one of the cards I was looking to have graded on eBay, to ensure it’s a 10, and to save money.
After comparing it to some other pictures on eBay, though (I’ve never seen a graded card in person) I started to worry it’s not authentic. The label seems slightly different than the others I was seeing (I’ll attach them below). The silver stamp is definitely different and the font seems slightly different. Can someone with more experience in this than me let me know if they think this is an authentic graded card? And if so, why it’s different than the others?
Thank you so much in advance!

Update: I found out you can track the sales of the specific card online

The picture looks the same, but the most recent seller listed is not the same one I’m seeing right now. Does that not always update? And I’m still confused as to why the label looks different
Hi, They look different because PSA changes their label and hologram (slightly) all the time. These all look legit to me.
