I'm no lawyer, but if more cards like the one in this auction start showing up, I'd think that PSA might have a case against whomever is creating these flips.

    The case the person is using is one of those ProTech Mini Slab Card Holders.

    The flip is printed from a home computer.

    Nothing with "PSA" on it, so I'm fairly certain no legal action could take place.

    PSA could probably have a trademark infringement case depending on how they have filed the description of their flips with the government. However as usual it is probably not worth the time or effort of a one off case. Of course if "Mint" grading takes off it may be a different story.

    they would most likely have to file a trade dress claim, and I do not believe they would come out victorious.

    I concur .. no one has copy rights on the colors red and white - not even Santa

    There would have to be irrefuitable proof there was an attempt to defraud.

    This may be a case of buy the holder - not the card.
