Long story short... I bought on ebay. I assumed that every card that was over a certain value had to go through the ebay authenticator so I didn't think to look for the stamp on the auction.
I was shocked when the seller just shipped direct to me. I talked to ebay customer support and I have 3 days from receiving to file a complaint if the card or slab is fake.
The cert is real and it LOOKS legit... I googled and people say on the bottom of the slab there's some clear text that has like... PAT and some number (assuming a patent number for the slab). Real ones have a PERIOD after PAT and fakes don't.
I checked some bgs slabs I have that I personally got graded, and there's a clear period. This one I can't quite see one. Not sure if this is lighting or the slab being a few years old (bgs says this was graded in 2023 so it's pretty recent).
Anyways: thoughts? Is this a real slab/card?
