    Love how the “authenticators” were quick to say “We ALL got duped. Agreed?” Like no, they got duped because YOU and YOUR company put YOUR seal of approval on a box you knew nothing about. The first guy would not have paid $2.7 million if they hadn’t authenticated it.
    So no, everyone didn’t get duped, Baseball Card Exchange. You did. Logan and the other guy took you at your professional guarantee that this box was real.

    the fact that a major point of the owner of BBCE is that "the wear on the label is consistent" is a massive red flag. if you get a box, put a label on it, then rub the box against another piece of cardboard for even 15 minutes, you will get the exact wear he is talking about, even though he says its basically a 100% guarantee its original. all that wear can prove is that the label hasnt been removed, which is why we would do it before shipping guitars that are worth 10-15k when i worked in a guitar wearhouse.

    Great video, Rev. Fun summary and reactions. One look at the inside and you could see it wasn't real. That feeling of being scammed, it sucks.
    Thank goodness, Logan took one for the team and had this case opened. Imagined if he had left it sealed.
    "We all got duped." -- for so many reasons. The authentication company only authenticated that the box was sealed. Not the actual wrapper - which looks to be modern and not from that era. Not the markings on the box, etc. Just that the box was sealed. Yes, it was.
    "From looking at it, there's nothing suspicious about the outside of the
    case." And that would be incorrect. Shout out to Rattle! And to
    Rattle's team of internet detectives demonstrating how much was wrong
    with the case, the story behind it, and the reality check that you can't
    authenticate something you cannot see.

    Listening to these guys talk about the Stop Tape and labeling on the box to justify why it was authentic is painful, and as if those two thing's can't be replicated by anyone with a thermal printer, 10$ to spend on amazon and the ability to heat & throw a box around and make it look aged.
    It took a youtuber literally a few hours to notice that the tape was inconsistent with other cases and that almost every part of the label, including its fade, size and contents were off and all he had to go off of was still images and videos. Yet, these guys that verifying millions of dollars of materials even outside of this case we're easily fooled and just put their stamp of approval on it for a quick sale. It's pathetic and I really hope PSA will sever ties with them.
    Worst part of the entire video was hearing the guy say "we can agree we've all been fooled". No dude, just you and your company were duped by not doing even a shred of due diligence on a box worth millions of dollars.

Now everyone will question the authenticity and dump sealed pokemon booster boxes for cheap.

      Once he had sold all these boxes he will have more money than anyone in the world. Part 2 is his plan is to use that money to build spaceships that will go out into the solar system.

That was everyones thought who saw it. The guy who won ebay bid wudnt buy it cus they wudnt let him fly in to canada to see it. The second guy he found was from insta and had the bbce people with then when it arrived
