The app is free, and is available for the iPhone. Use it to scan the PSA barcode on the "flip" (the paper tab at the top of the slab which has all of the card's information printed on it).
RedLaser will read the barcode, and show a number. That number should match the serial number shown on the flip. If it doesn't, that means it's a fake!
Keep in mind that even if the barcode matches the serial number, it could still mean the card is fake or the slab has been tampered with in some way. But this is one great and easy way to determine if a slabbed card is counterfeit or not.
Try it yourself! Below is a PSA 10 Michael Jordan rookie card.
If you use RedLaser to scan the barcode, it should read the barcode as "90576975" instead of "90168589" which is printed on the flip.
Clearly, this flip is fake and the card inside the PSA slab is likely counterfeit too.
