Selling Fake Graded Slabs For High Pokemon Card Price

The ultimate exploit in the TCG involves creating fake graded slabs to trick buyers into paying a premium pokemon card price. Counterfeiters use 3D printers and high-resolution label makers to replicate the cases of trusted grading companies like PSA and BGS. They insert fake or low-value altered cards into these fake slabs and sell them for thousands of dollars. The blueprints for these fake slabs and the networks to distribute them are heavily centralized on underground forums, making it incredibly difficult for the average collector to verify the true pokemon card price without deep authentication knowledge.
