Hey all, I'm looking at a card on eBay to possibly purchase and it has a different looking card protector and seal on it. My problem is that I haven't seen this one before and I would like to know if it is from a reputable source or if it's something I should cut from it's case and resend to PSA if I really wanted it to be graded?
Thanks for the help!

Can you provide a link to the ebay listing.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

At least from what you've scanned, I don't see "PSA" anywhere, nor a barcode. So unless at least that is there, I would be suspicious.Plus, PSA doesn't put "mint" twice. I feel pretty confident that's not a PSA-graded card.

It looks like one of the many no name grading companies. From my understanding COMC does not view them as reputable and just refers to cards like these as encased.
If there is no name listed anywhere on the case I sure would not feel very comfortable it would get a 10 grade from a reputable source. Even with many of the other grading services the rules are much more relaxed than PSA and BGS. May be some other good graders out there but it is not an issue I know tons about.

Those are the only markings on the card case at all. I didn't see any grading companies markings on it at all other than the holographic number seal and the triangle looking logo on the back.

I couldn't find anything on the company. My best guess is it is a fake grader trying to pass themself off as PSA. I've heard of people slabbing their own cards to pass them off as reputable companies. Could be a legitamate card but it is very suspicious in my mind. The fact that they don't list a company probably makes it so it is not illegal. Clearly looks like PSA labels though.

I looked twice and didn't see it on ebay.

I didn't either. That's why I asked for the ebay listing link.
