PSA announces security chip embedded slabs coming soon
 

Joe Orlando just announced this on Twitter. The coin division is doing it first, and then the cards.

I don't think the slabs being counterfeit is the main problem...

Agreed. Not much problem with the slabs themselves but with what goes into the slabs.

At all.

I'm not familiar on the history, but were slabs being counterfeit before the lighthouse thing was added? I certainly haven't read anything on it as far as something to watch out for.

Seems like they are making "progress" in the wrong places.

Typical misdirection. I guess they think that solving a very minor problem will distract collectors from the much larger one.

And it's a way for them to increase revenue.

It’s something at least. Now maybe this will be the first step to the online database and prevent cards from being resubbed many times.

That's hilarious, lets address the non-issue why don't we. Thanks Joe!

Aside from obvious deflection from the real issues, it does make you wonder............

Not sure if you guys realize this, but PCGS drives what CLCT does. PSA is a relative afterthought.

Like they know more than we do and there is a problem?

Maybe when CU rolls this out to PSA they can hit two birds with one stone and put dimensions on the slabs when they receive cards to recase?

Look at this hand while my other one robs you. Clowns

I want slab dye-packs!!!

I like it. Good step forward.

Counterfeit cases were all the rage in the 00's.

So they’ll solve their current problems some time in the 2030s?

It's more meaningful from that damn Pizza Hut app showing your submission status that Sloan was touting as the scandal was exploding.

Asia is making fake BGS slabs and putting fake cards in them for basketball

PSA ploy to make MORE money from collectors they consider and treat as born yesterday.

I can't wait for Joe Orlando to blame a small group of 10 feet tall keyboard warriors for lack of faith in PSA during FBI investiagtion and million+ outted as fraud.

I'd love to hear what you guys think about this statement:

While buyers often want graded cards in order to feel secure in their purchase, the fact is that you are many, many, many times more likely to receive a trimmed (or otherwise altered) card if it's in a graded slab.

Now I can rest secure in the fact my trimmed/altered card was actually graded by PSA and not some dude in mommy's basement.

Counterfeit slabs from Mexico was a significant problem. I am not sure it still isn't.
