Trimmed Alpha PSA 9 Tundra on eBay

Post by Magic61983 » Mon Nov 17, 2014 8:39 pm

Hey Guys,

Just want everyone to be aware this card is on sale for the second time on eBay it's a mm short left to right and has a really horrible top left corner. If you're after an Alpha this is not it.

The fact that PSA graded that confirms my view that grading is useless at its roots.

Damn...
It seems to me that this guy is selling a lot of (high) graded cards for days now...

People here who are familiar with PSA, do you think it is possible to make fake encasement with appropriate tools ? (not to do it :-P )

EDIT : he is also selling a lot of BGS

I thought exacty that when I looked on that card. Maybe they only check the condition and not for authenticity?

Yes, it has been a known problem in the sports card world for a long time. See threads like this for an example:

What are the "flips" the Jordan buyer is talking about? I see the line spacing difference... the flip is the PSA tag?
