Default More on ebay's mysterious authentication program

Ostensibly the entire purpose behind the re-authentication of already slabbed items was so that eBay (in their steadfast refusal to ever become category experts themselves) didn’t have to reinvent the wheel and 3rd party grade already 3rd party graded cards…so this makes no sense to me. They are supposed to just be taking them out of the box saying, “Yep, this is a PSA 5 Topps XXX” and putting a stamp of approval on it and re-packaging.

As long as the card is in a reputable slab (PSA, SGC, BGS, CGC…) and the title in form closely matches the title on the flip, what is the problem?

Gotta love eBay. They seem to love going out of their way to make additional headaches for themselves.
