Default Fake PSA Slabs Sold on eBay | Be Extremely Careful High Value

These 3 PSA Slabs are believed to be counterfeit. The cards inside the slabs are also imo fake.

Somehow ebay links do not work. Here are the photos.

Be extremely CAREFUL!!!

And eBay doesn’t care anymore. Before the AI-moderated report process, there was better success in getting these listings down. Not anymore.

Too easy to reproduce cards these days - may the buyer beware.

This is getting so far out of hand that its hard to buy anything anymore unless you saw it pulled. Just looking at Ebay for the stuff I normally look at probably about 25-40% are sellers in China. No way Im touching that stuff but then again how much of it is already here and being sold by unsuspecting US sellers? The mass counterfeits being pumped into the market is going to burst the bubble this time around.

I mean I wouldn't even consider buying a card from a seller in china at this point. There is just no reason to especially on stuff that isn't 1/1 etc...

I stopped buying cards from Chinese consignors a long time ago. A good percentage of their listings are shilled and relisted over and over until they find a sucker to overpay.
