Default Watch Out 10+ Fake Kobe Auto Graded by PSA

Hi,

I did some research on Kobe auto cards from 2015 Replay.

First I bought 3 cards that are for sure real since they are very cheap (less than $5), and looked at the stamps on the card, and compared to the stamp provided by 312.

The differences between real and fake stamps are easy to catch. Look at the "O" from "AUTOGRAPH" and "R, P, A" from "REPLAY".

All 10 cards graded by PSA are fake by comparing the stamps on PSA graded cards vs. real stamps. PSA graded card photos are obtained directly from PSA website.

Plus, there are lots of fake copies in sealed one touch.

I'm not sure about the PRIZM one since the stamp is not clear. Based on my previous analysis on checklist, this PRIZM one is also a fake copy.

This is a close look of the stamp of the PSA cert 72386933. This is clearly different from a real stamp.

Sadly, the counterfeiters will just have something to reference to correct their mistake on the stamp. Topps and Panini Buybacks are ripe for fakes.

But it's only other companies that suck and make multiple mistakes.

**Totally sarcastic and those that actually know, know PSA is horrible too. Sad that fakes are slabbed so regularly now.

Correct, and there are a few additional versions (ink color and quantity) of that fake in circulation.
Not sure which version was submitted, but it appears psa may have rejected at least one of these.

These fakes have also been discussed in another thread about fake autos.

These have all been deactivated. If you find any more copies graded by PSA with active certs, please don't hesitate to contact me directly, either through DMs or via instagram @90swax.

Will PSA buy these fake copies back? I know people who own these cards and don’t know what to do.

Tell them to use the customer request center online portal in their PSA account to file a quality assurance request. Once they file they'll receive instructions on how to submit the card for verification (free of charge).

Or have them contact me directly.

More fake cards graded by PSA.

The Curry auto graded by PSA is also a fake copy.

BTW FYI, I've been talking about these fake cards for months, and PSA China refused to take any action towards the fake cards, allowing them to be sold online again and again. This is a big hit of PSA's reputation in Asia.

This is fake Curry auto graded by PSA. An easy fake to tell.

Some people sent the PSA graded fake copies back to PSA for review after watching my videos, and PSA authenticated them as real ones.

The Kobe on the right (wasn't deactivated) is now on ebay.

Have you done any research on 2014 Paramount? The adjacent psa cert, also looks suspect.

Correct, several of the "authenticated" as well.

Before heading over to eBay, this copy was listed on CardHobby.

Opie's entire career feels like one giant closed gym workout for BODA membership consideration. Except the facility's empty and BODA officials aren't aware.

smh@ povertybros still trynna Raja Bell the GOAT even in the afterlife with these kardboard abominations.

Cannot believe PSA didn't deactivate this card. Clearly a fake copy with a fake autograph authenticated by PSA/DNA.
