Just had authentication reject an $850 sale due to them deeming a freshly graded PSA card as being "not a trading card" as well. Ha! I was very confused as it is clearly a "trading card".

It was a 1996 Topps Michael Jordan Finest Reprints Refractor. These were inserts in 1996 Topps Stadium Club packs. PSA correctly labels it as a "Reprint - Refractor" on their label (as that is what the insert set is called), but according to eBay after I inquired why it failed, all "reprints" are not eligible for authentication and will fail the process.

I told the eBay rep that makes zero sense as the card is a pack-issued insert officially produced by Topps - and it was graded by PSA very recently. The rep could offer no other explanation and just said they would pass along my feedback. if eBay can find a way to be incompetent, they will...
