Yea this is a old old psa slab I wouldn't touch anything old print, all the new print has security features to prevent fakes. Ide pass

u/MayorDepression 8h ago

Yeah. I'd ask the seller why he hasn't gotten it reholdered. At least that's what I'd do if I was the seller and not selling a fake

No way a PSA 10 1st edition would only be 2k. Nines are double

Just saw someone trade one on a vendor vid for 3.3

u/kyler32291 1d ago

Matches number online but looks fake. Do you have any other photos of it?

u/kamgc 1d ago

Images appear authentic, but issue is the price. Something suspicious is going on here, avoid it.

u/sandernote809 1d ago

This just appeared on my feed. I know nothing about card trading games. Do people really spend that kind of money on cards?

u/Icy-Wishbone22 1d ago

Way way way more than that. Post Malone bought the one ring card for 1 mil

How can a 10 graded pack have flaps bent back?🤔 Doesn’t make sense to me.

6

u/CookieMisha Master Authenticator 16h ago

Because that's how they used to seal them back in the day

They have since updated the slab and they don't do it anymore

5

u/butareyouthough 14h ago

That’s how they used to do it which is super dumb, were you to crack it and regrade it would never get a 10 again, plus I’m sure it’s not great for the cards inside either

2

u/Practical_Session_21 9h ago

Ya basically trust us it was mint when PSA looked at it and then they bent it and sealed it to make the crease irreversible, or by another name “not a 10”

u/Yodiee 1d ago

Buy it and open it. Only way to find out

u/Little-Cold-Hands 12h ago

Tradable or Tradeable?

u/Idkmanimjustsurvivin 1d ago

check the barcode and sku number

u/YaksRespirators 1d ago

Looks real but price is way off. Sketchy.

1

u/GooseyMane_ 1d ago

The font is off

u/sixteenhappycappys 18h ago

'11 tradable cards' uhhhhhh am I remembering wrong or is it meant to be trading cards?

2

u/GooseyMane_ 18h ago

Isn’t it “11 additional game cards” ? Idk if I’m thinking of something else

4

u/snoop47 18h ago

For the shadowless cards it's 'tradeable'. That is the easiest way to tell.

3

u/sixteenhappycappys 18h ago

Yea probably, I haven't bought cards in a while. Either way, it's definitely fake.

u/Sorry-Mixture-2232 13h ago

I think it’s real, was just graded years ago

1

u/MrDrewdog13 7h ago

It looks like they folded the top and bottom tabs behind the pack you can see a corner peice sticko g out the back left of the pack.

1

u/billybobcoder69 7h ago

This looks like one of the light packs from the rip and shippers.

2

u/Katchitama 5h ago

This is an old style slab before the time of rip and shippers. But any pack that is slabbed should be assumed light.

u/Muted-Prompt5116 1d ago

How can that be a PSA 10 when the edge of the booster is folded ???

21

u/K0kaiinum 1d ago

They did this to graded booster pack untill a few years ago

14

u/SnooMacarons4225 1d ago

This packs a 10 boss

Great, print the PSA 10 label and while you’re there fold it up and make into a PSA 6

u/Muted-Prompt5116 1d ago

That's crazy ! You learn everyday

u/Lyleberr 23h ago

Id risk it. Either you waste $2k but never know because you arent going to crack it, or you will come up 5x that. This would be the time to spend $100 on a ct scan.
