My understanding was that Greg Morris and 1 or 2 other big movers had a separate deal with eBay to not do it for awhile; and that Morris uses 'set break' in all his listings is not related and long pre-dated this issue.
Presumably eBay has just improved their logic to break this workaround trick, as usually happens when users find a way around an undesired new 'feature'.

I just confirmed that I had 3 sales which had the term "Set Break" in the title that all were shipped directly to the buyers and not the 3rd party authenticators. They were individual listings that all should have qualified for the authenticity program, I believe. One was an auction for a raw card that sold in August for about $450, one was raw that sold via 'Make Offer' for about $425, and the other was a graded card that sold in July via a private PM offer for about $1100. All three appear to have usurped the AG program.
