This is super fake card graded by PSA, and got PSA 10.

Absolutely terrible.

PS: Compare with this PSA graded copy, and you could know why above one is a fake copy.

Update: I messaged a PSA team member, and the certificate is now deactivated.

Explain why it's fake? Is it the lettering on the back?

I got a fake Jalen Williams downtown from the same set off Veriswap. Print quality looks very similar. Back of mine was riddled with typos. Where did this one come from?

Dont know anything about Downtown's or Chets for basketball but the back of this one looks way too pixelated. Looks like it was printed from an ink jet printer. I'd say that as my first impression

A blind person can see it's fake. The back is horrible.

Great industry!

I’m going to save a screen shot.

It’s just as good as the actual thing but cheaper.

I can offer two Bored Apes and one NBA Top Shot Moment of Devin Booker dribbling a basketball numbered to 4,000.

For contrast/comparison,...LeBron slab VS. Chet slab:

We sure it's not just the super close up shot that makes it look pixelated?

The backs of these downtowns have some "Noise" (think like static) and that was overdone on the Chet.

Photoshop has an "add noise" feature that is used to add depth and grainy like finish. That's what stood out to me regarding the backs.

That's real bad lmao. Look at the yellowing/printer bleed on the white border on the fake chet too. It looks like it got pissed on by a cat.

Does PSA not have a team that double checks the work of grading teams? At a minimum just a glance?

This is what PSA is offering you on that exact cert if the card is vaulted.

No, it is NOT pixelated. The certificate is now deactivated. PSA has confirmed they graded this fake card.

It is NOT. The certificate has been deactivated. Now it's 100% fake confirmed by PSA.

It’s a fake copy. You should reach out to Veriswap for return.
