Ebay AI Authentication Is A Flop - M101-4/5
 

AI definintely can't be used for everything. Ebay needs to get their act together.

I emailed the seller first and he said an authenticator said it was good. Then.....

I reported this listing as a reprint. It's kind of obvious to almost anyone in the hobby that collects the series.

what a joke leon unreal

From the item in question:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Condition
Ungraded - Very good: Not in original packaging or professionally graded

Professionally Graded Graded

It features Hans Lobert of the New York Giants and has been professionally graded.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The inconsistency in whether it's graded or not, should be enough on its own to get it kicked out.

Also from the AI generated description, which appears to be based on the Item Specifics:

AI is fun, isn't it? :D

I just reported it as a counterfeit as well and received this response:

"What happened:

So, even the "customer service agent" thinks it is good as well. Kind of surprised how quick they respond to these reports though. They responded within 15 minutes of the report.

"Original, licensed reprint . . .from the 1916 season"

It gets better. It seems the item sold yesterday for $27.52

but you can still buy it in the next couple of hours as part of a five-card group (all doctored reprints):
