They could care less about us, since the majority of the members of this board are very educated about the hobby. I would venture to guess that their largest demographic is rich businessmen who could care less about price or the everyday joe that just wants to meet their favorite player in person or wants to buy a Derek Jeter item for their kids.
Also, there are lots of high priced items on eBay with fake Mounted Memories and Schwartz Sports COAs. Thos do come with both the sticker and COA credit cards. If they don't have a serial numbered hologram sticker, I would stay away. They always have the old style non serial numbered sticker.

For an organization that considers themselves an industry leader, that's amazing that it's 2016 and they're just now getting into the matching certs.
