When flicking through ebay auctions I noticed alot of people cover/hide the ID number on the PSA label of their cards. Why?
So some dishonest person can’t photoshop/or print their own label to make there card appear authentic or have a better grade than it truly has.
The catch is if you are a buyer you can’t check the ID to see if it is legit, but you can always ask and if the seller is a good one they will almost always provide it.
Many buyers think the seller is hiding something and that’s why I don’t do it. By not doing it, and I list hundreds of PSA cards, I’ve never had a problem. Ofcourse most sellers that do that have other legit reasons for doing it and very few are dishonest. I just figure…why not remove all doubt?
See, my boy Mike has his own legit reason and certainly he is as reputable of a seller as they come.
But 
Even though the buyer can ask the seller for the number often times they won’t hassle it and just move on OR it’ll take time to get a reply back and in the meantime they could spend their money elsewhere.
Ah thats makes sense, thanks
