The Slab Fraud Problem

What happens after your card leaves the grading company? Nothing. That's the problem.

// Problem 01

Same Cert Number. Two Different Slabs.

Fraudsters clone authentic cert numbers onto counterfeit slabs. The registry lookup returns a real result — but the card inside is fake. The grading company's system can't tell you which slab is actually yours.

FAKE
// Problem 02

Cracked Open. Resealed. Resold.

Cards are removed from authentic slabs, swapped for fakes, and the case is re-glued using the original label. Nothing in any grading company's system flags this. SlabProof does.

// Problem 03

The Moment It Left the Grader, the Trail Went Cold.

Grading companies authenticate at inception. After that: silence. No ownership record. No transfer history. No way to verify the slab in your hands is the same one that was graded.
