Another fake PSA cert card and Sticker for this FAKE Darkness LP

This scam is getting bigger -- people printing up their own cert cards and stickers (after looking up items in the PSA VERIFY DATABASE without photos).  People think they are buying something certified by PSA instead of a forgery which what they'll get. Items over 50 bucks MUST have a full LOA. 

Here's a fake Springsteen Darkness LP on ebay now:

And if you try to verify it -- PSA's website had no photo -- or even a mention of what album it is:

https://www.psacard.com/cert/d51701/

PSA is aware of this problem but won't take steps to fix it (by listing a matching photo of the item which is not too difficult). 

They are cheapening their brand at the expense of novice collectors

Other pawn shops also ended up with these fakes with fake cert cards.

Here’s one from eBay seller palacejewelryandloan (Palace Jewelry and Loan in Reno, NV)

It looks like these were pawned and are now being sold on eBay after the loan wasn’t repaid. There must be loads of them at pawn shops that think the certs are real. Some of them have the same cert numbers.

Seems like Nevada is still "The Wild West" when it comes to forgeries. The Lawman tends to look the other way -- how else can you explain the 30 year run of Antiquities?

How are they getting the hologram on the cert?

If PSA doesn't start taking aggressive legal action against people selling items with forged certs and holograms, then whatever value their services still have in light of the current issues they are facing in the baseball card grading world will drop to zero.
