Slabs, labels and verifying a graded Palworld card
A slab is the sealed, tamper-evident plastic holder a graded card lives in. Its label carries the set name, printed card number, card name, grade and a unique certification number, and both PSA and Beckett let you verify that number against their own database to confirm the slab has not been swapped or counterfeited.

Read the label
Confirm the printed card code on the label matches the card — Pal Stars lists every card by its exact English code such as EBP01-001, ETD01-012TSP and ESOUL-002, so a mismatch is easy to catch.
Verify the cert
Always check the certification number on the grader's official lookup before buying a slab, and compare the photos on the cert record with the card in hand.
Spotting a resealed slab
Look for cloudy weld seams, mismatched font weight on the label, bubbles along the edges, and inner-well movement. Genuine slabs hold the card rigidly with no rattle.
Storage
Keep slabs out of direct sunlight, in a slab box or bag-and-board style sleeve, at stable room temperature. Slab plastic scratches and yellows, and a scuffed case hurts resale even with a 10 inside.
Shipping graded cards
Ship slabs in a bubble sleeve inside a rigid box with corner protection. A cracked case usually means the buyer opens a claim even when the card is untouched.
