I sent a message to the seller, explaining the difference between 'PSA AUTH' that they have in the item title (which is PSA stating that they recognize the authenticity of the card) and '? AUTHTCT' which is on the label (and means PSA states the card is of questionable authenticity), and asked that they either correct the title or, failing that (since there have already been bids placed), withdraw the listing.
We will see if they respond.

I don't buy questionable "?" authentic cards, but holy crap, can't PSA be more clear in the flip. the have the word "authentic" in the flip for frick sake. Really? That's just plain dumb. And the the question mark "?" before the word "authentic" is suppose to be a prefix? Note to PSA, just say "unknown origination" and lose the word "authentic" in the flip. Stop with the hieroglyphics. |

I wish all grading companies would just call them what they are, a reprint. Whether it's authorized or not, if it is made much, much later, not from the original mfg, and isn't real it is a reprint. That would look good on the labels..

I politely disagree.
If any TPG knows something isn't real they should state it. They shouldn't leave something like "? AUT" on the flip. It can be interpreted different ways. They should know this by now. And the "reprint" designation should be reserved for ones they are sure of. If they aren't sure then they should say "Not sure" ..... I would respect them more for that then what they do now. BTW, Beastmode and I feel the same way.... Quote:

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=221667 This is all the fault of PSA. They either lack the balls or intelligence to label a card for what it really is - a reprint, counterfeit, fake (or whatever term you want to use to describe it). Look at the Wagner (first post in the link just above). Why not just label it for what it is? Why call it questionable authenticity? There is nothing questionable about it. The term 'questionable' leaves room for hope. Keep drinking that PSA Kool Aid, guys! As for Brent's listing, I saw the card and I believe it's absolutely authentic. |

I assume PSA leaves it vague on advice of their lawyers because they want to skirt a potential lawsuit and avoid having the curtain pulled back on the man behind the screen pulling the levers. To me saying "authenticity questioned" is probably as much as they can say in a lot of cases, even where they strongly suspect fraud.

I think there is a way to be vague about the questionable authenticity and prevent scam artists from abusing the PSA brand.
Buyers mistake "?AUTH" as "there is a possibility that this is authentic" when this isn't the case. PSA should either return the card without a flip (like BVG) or issue a flip that adds no value to a counterfeit card. |
