Hey guys! I’m new to PSA graded cards, and I’m looking to buy this specific Charizard. What stands out about this particular card for me is that it says “REVERSE FOI” and not “REV.FOIL”, which it usually seems to do. Is this something to be concerned about or does this card seem legit? ![](http://i67.tinypic.com/70ho3s.png) ---

If you notice the certification number is pretty old so they must have changed the label since then. PSA lets you validate the number on their website. The cards looks good to me. [www.psacard.com/cert/19624810/](https://www.psacard.com/cert/19624810/) ---

Old cert #, looks legit based on others I have seen. ---

I think it’s just the old style PSA label @izy ---

Everything looks good to me. $325 seems to be a very good price. ---

Looks legit to me, it’s an old label/slab. PSA slabs have evolved over the years to include things like barcodes and additional security. It would be nice if their was a visual guide to the how the slabs and labels have changed over the years, but the internet seems to be lacking that as far as I can tell.
