What does a PSA/DNA label look like when been tampered with?
What does a PSA/DNA label look like when been tampered with?
I bought three signed photographs (Gary Oldman, Denzel Washington, and Leonardo DiCaprio) on Ebay that were certified by PSA/DNA. But when I got the pictures in person, the labels look a bit... off. Now this is the first time I've ever bought items like these before, so I don't know how to tell if a PSA/DNA label has been tampered with or not. I've Googled everywhere and I can't find a tampered-with label. Anyone care to help out? Is it possible for someone to remove their label from an authentic item and putting it on a fake? I'm REALLY hoping I didn't make a costly mistake here. Thanks!

Go to the PSA/DNA site and check the cert # and see if it matches with the items you bought.
Unfortunatly their stickers are NOT tamper proof. It is possible to remove them without damaging them. This scam has started to become more popular of late.
Either way... Do your research before buying anything certified by a 3rd party company like PSA. They are not experts and have passed fakes before!

Why don't you post photos of the autographs and we can give you input. After all, the only thing that matters is if the autographs are authentic.
You might share the name of the seller you purchased them from as well. I might know them or their reputation. I have been in this business a long time and I know most of the players legit or not.
You cant rely on PSA's database 100% as they are often way behind getting the items entered. I have items I submitted to be certified months ago still waiting to be entered. No matter the number of calls I make or emails sent they still don't get it done.
PSA may make mistakes but they are the least likely to do so especially on easy names like the ones you purchased.

The Ebayer is gvl2256. Here are the pics from the auctions. What I'm worried about is the last two - you can't see much from these pics, but the labels looks a bit scuffed on the right sides (kinda like a sticker when you remove it and put it on something else). I checked the numbers and they DO show up on psa, but no additional info. I'll have a working printer/scanner in a few days if you need better scans.

Its hard to tell but the PSA stickers look fine to me. Maybe a clearer up close scan will help.
I just took a quick look but the denzel and leo look good.
