If it was 100% about making a proxy why not just have no barcode to scan and make the cert number 00000000. Easy way to seperate the proxies from real slabs. Putting a real barcode to scan and a real cert number automatically makes you suspicious.
Watched this video yesterday and a few hours later saw a video on tiktok of someone trying to sell a fake Umbreon vmax. I called him out and he deleted the video, or it was removed. Total scumbag guy.
What kind of nerd would buy a PSA 10 replica to display when they know It’s 100% fake, doesn’t that take away from the fun of displaying it? You might as well just display a photo of a PSA 10 card, at least that would be of a real card with a real grade.
Love the sarcasm 😂 Proxy? No no no it’s a “replica” strait bypassed copyright infringement 😅 I run a small LGS and I swear about 1/2 the trade ins I have to dig out random proxies and the people act shook like I’m bs’n them.
I rather no Lechonk than a proxy Lechonk. I'll just lay in bed looking at a photo of the real one like it's that Wolverine meme. Fan art cards are alright imo, as they can easily be determined to be fan art (for people who know how to research). Proxies though can really bend people over, even if they are more well experienced in the hobby. Proxy slabs? The worst...
Custom cards I have mostly no issue with. Fan art and commissions have been here forever and most people do them tastefully and with no harm. Proxy cards have been an issue for as long as I can remember.
Ofc they are still being sold. They are getting better and better and as long as these prices continue there will be more and more, unfortunately. Everyone who sells fake cards (even if they mention they are proxy) is just scum.
The worst part is they make them try to sell them but never mention in the description ther proxy unless you ask or can tell the difference. Proxy sellers r scumbags
I do buy proxies for one piece but I buy the ones that are obvious proxies. The problem is they can't stop these Chinese companies since they just swap names and move on.
I didn’t see any of those fake slabs with the psa engraving on the bottom right corner . It’s also on the opposite side of the bottom right too and If you hold the slab up , you can see both engravings at the same time .
What are we gonna do once they fix the font….sigh. PSA should be doing more work to stop these sellers. I feel like Etsy has ToS against this so should be easy to report them.
Serious question. With these proxies being sold at probably high prices to people who don’t know any better, can the buyer then go forward with legal action? Like do they have any protection at all!?
I don’t like the proxy cards or even cards made based on Pokemon pocket. This can easily be used to scam new collectors or collectors not paying attention in general.
They would not be in slabs if they were meant for trying out decks. Also, any seller serious about selling proxies could sell just the common version to avoid the scam my behavior.
There is no excuse for making a proxy psa card. We all know what’s going on here. Pokemon always has younger collectors coming in falling for this stuff
I’m not gonna lie I’ve bought proxy first edition of the starters because I can’t afford the real things and I wanted it for my collection, but you can tell so easily that they are fake lol and whoever sells proxy cards as the real deal should be perma banned from the hobby.
All this makes me think that there should be a global blacklist of these sellers somewhere. The new people are bound to get screwed over sooner or later, and it's impossible to educate everyone. If we had some kind of system or website that new people could visit, it would be a good start. Allow others to see list of fake card sellers and search for product to determine if it's a legit item, or a "proxy" or whatever.
If pokemon cards were still "affordable" this might not be the end of the world. But we can all agree, I think, that scamming people out of $2000 is pretty much straight up criminal activity. There is no simple way to put it other than that. Stay careful out there peeps. When in doubt, ask several people if something is real, and learn WHY for yourself so that you become wiser and can rely on your own skills. But also, if you aren't there yet, maybe avoid things that could be a bamboozle. There are lots of fakes I see out there. Slabs, no slabs, new fakes, old fakes coming out of little billy's childhood collection. Sorry billy, your mom bought you fakes, she thought it was okay, and that you wouldn't care. Ebay regularly upholds fake cards, so you can't trust them to clean out fakes. Trust me, I've given up reporting fakes. They just auto reply that a "human" reviewed the report and thinks its real.
@@jijowajaknxanma3439 not sure what you mean. umbreon Vmax alt art psa 10 is going for thousands of dollars. If you are trying to use these to scam people or a company like gamestop, then there is a huge amount of money. And these amounts are felony level offenses.

Because it’s like 1% of the price and possibly almost as good or better.
Imagine having that in your collection and literally be proud of presenting it in a glass case!wohooooo yeh baby!!😂😂😂
I’m so glad I don’t deal with graded cards like that
You’re the smart one
Reported them to PSA. Doubt anything will be done. But worth the effort.
The fact that Fake PSA Slabs Are Still Being Sold is WILD
So many are being sold too
@@OpossumBud THAT'S THE WORST PART
Absolutely no shot those fakes aren’t about to get price stickers with the rest of those cards.
I was thinking the same thing
Gotta agree on the nickname thing. I automatically lose respect for anyone who says shit like “Gary” or “ray ray”
It’s just a funny noticing lol
The Pokemon community is just full of dumb and childish millenials nowadays.
Complain less
I love “ray ray”

The middle PSA logo on the slab, the S is always thicker on the fakes too
Just call them what they are fake!
I understand proxy cards for play but placing it in a slab is disgraceful and scary.
They are fake as hell
The worst part is they make them try to sell them but never mention in the description ther proxy unless you ask or can tell the difference. Proxy sellers r scumbags
Xcept in this one case

I've always bought singles that I love but in the current market I'm constantly wary. I've seen so many graded fakes lately it's insane.

All this stops if you just print enough boxes and cards for everyone to buy. Problem solved
You’re the problem.

The fake slabs are probably worth more because their PSA 10 population are much lower (could be 😉).
Logic lol
Unfortunately anytime there’s easy $$ to be made, scummers gonna scum.

I enjoy proxy cards of art that doesn’t actually officially exist, AKA Oricas. There are a lot that are really good looking.
there needs to be some lawsuits immediately
Fake slabs being sold still. Who would of thought. Mind blown
Crazy right? 😐
Proxy and custom cards are just a fancy way of saying fakes.

Just check the certification number that's what it's for
