Thoughts?

The end cap should have the SB logo on it, but it appears that you have no end cap.

PSA are one point sold SBA3's with a PSA end cap. The fake ones are really close to real. Usually I have had to look at the roll pins of a known good one to see. |

Just because it doesn't have the end cap doesn't mean it isn't an SBA3. They make them for other vendors such as PSA.
If it works, run it. Who TF cares. |

Also, is the velcro really thin and cheap?
That's typically a noticeable difference. When I had braces in Minecraft I had SB, PSA and an obvious fake, and they all worked the same. |

I have 2 SBA3 knockoffs (They work great FYI) and they DO have the SB logo on them... One way that I have found is the top loop on the fakes have less real estate for the strap. How'd I find that out? Switching to the split fix straps. |

Hard to tell.It has the 4 dimples on the back of the brace on the rubber/arm insert area and has the shiny roll pins but some of the extra flashing on the rubber makes me question it. With that said, the fakes that are out there are quite good and the fakes have less rattle on the tube.
