Custom PSA-style labels with real cert numbers sold cheap on AliExpress
According to Dexerto, AliExpress stores are selling customizable PSA-style labels with barcodes and holographic patches, one priced at $4.05 with over 5,000 sales shown. CheckCOA found some used real PSA certification numbers, so a number lookup returns a genuine card description.
This is why a cert-number check alone isn't enough: the number verifies, but the slab doesn't. Look at the case itself for tampering, compare against PSA's own scan images, and know your seller. Some collectors say print quality and security patterns still give these away, but at this volume, expect more of them in the wild. Cheap raw-to-slab flips are the risk.
Our read, from the people who buy and sell these cards. Opinion, not financial advice.
