Oh, boy.
 

Fueled by PSA and their stupid question mark nonsense.

I agree, still have not figured out why exactly they do it that way. SGC would mark it counterfeit so the scammers can't take advantage of a stupid "?".

On the up side the seller is donating 10% to a charity.;)

I don't get it either. Everything they do is an exercise in judgment. If they say in our professional opinion it is not genuine, so be it. It's like for some reason they are afraid to call a spade a spade.

I agree, call it not authentic. Period.

Still, anyone who looks at that "PSA ? authenticity" and pays $5K for it deserves to get ripped off. :rolleyes:

.." so per ebay policy I'm gone call it a re-print although PSA can't confirm it is"

95% positive feedback keeps you in good standing on eBay?

I have another question: why does PSA give it a cert# when they don't believe that its authentic, and they don't slab it?

And he just sold a 1948 Leaf Babe Ruth PSA ? athtct for $103.... and the buyer left him a positive feedback. :rolleyes: There really is a sucker born every minute.

Good question, it could be to keep track of questionable cards to a submitter.

Besides the "? AUTHTCT" I have seen them put "NOHOLDER" on counterfeit cards. I had a fellow Bill Ripken error collector send me these flips. It is a known counterfeit card among collectors of the Bill Ripken variations. Sometimes PSA grades them as real and sometimes they reject them.

I believe the cert number is produced when they're logged in, not after the fact.

That would explain it.

Heck of a deal
