His original asking price for both was about $1,000 more than they would be worth (“They’re Cobbs!) and he was convinced no matter how bad his scans, they would probably both get 3s when sent to PDA. Said if I wanted to trade, I’d have to send mine off to PSA so he could make a ”make a more even trade.”
Heard back from him today and both his cards came back “authentic”. “But that’s better because it proves they’re real!” I asked if he asked for them to be graded or only authenticated and he said only authenticated because that was worth more than graded cards.
How stupid are people?

Sometimes unbelievably.
When I see a vintage card with an Authentic grade I instantly wonder what is wrong with the card.
Doubt it will help but tell him to look at prices on Authentic VS # graded cards on eBay.
Some people are hard to trade with, maybe you can get his cash price down and just sell yours and buy his. Good luck on getting the cards.
