Buying from eBay PSA Graded Cards
I know most people buy from eBay PSA/Beckett graded cards and etc but I was wondering how can you stay safe and not end up buying some fake card with fake labels and stuff?
I just read a topic on a different forum how someone bought some fake cards off someone off craiglist and sold em on eBay and some ppl returned it etc and turned into a bad situation and stuff does anyone have any tips? or any reputable sellers that they could show me?

RE: Buying from eBay PSA Graded Cards
Anything you buy off Ebay is risky IMO, at least if you get a fake you can report it to Ebay and get your money back from what I have heard. I saw a 65 Koufax on there the other day but I question it because it was in MINt condition from the scan but had the starting auction price of most cards on there.

Just stick to buying BGS/BVG, PSA & SGC to be on the safe side.
However, to be extra safe, stick to buying BGS/BVG Graded cards. It hasn't happened to me yet (although it might have. I bought some PSA 10's to cross over to BGS and they came back as questionable authenticity edges. 2 of them were 1992 Score #2's.), I've heard the PSA slabs are a lot easier to crack open and slip in another card.

Do your research on who the seller is. I stick to someone who has a lot of feedback and a great rating. I figure if they were trying to pull a fast one someone should have caught them by now. If you need any suggestions on who I use send me a PM. Not sure if I can post names here. Good luck!
