I guess I was justifiably concerned based on what happened to Peter
Here is what eBay sent me notifying me that the SGC graded item I sold "could not be authenticated" (by PSA) and was therefore mis-categorized in my listing.


"We wanted to let you know that your item is on the way to your buyer, but unfortunately we can’t provide our Authenticity Guarantee. The item was miscategorized in your listing and is therefore ineligible.
This may be disappointing for your buyer, so if you have similar listings, we recommend you update the item details to ensure this doesn’t happen again. In the meantime, we’ll notify them to let them know their order is on the way."

If I'm fortunate the buyer will still want it at the agreed-upon price.... I'm a bit cynical so I doubt it....

My takeaway from this is that PSA won't grade/authenticate this item so the SGC authentication is invalid for purposes of eBay. Personally I don't think that these necessarily "cards" -- they are booklet pages -- but SGC is entitled to slab and authenticate whatever they think is kosher. I won this with some others like it in an auction iast year from REA .
The one I really wanted was a Buck Leonard that was also graded/authenticated by SGC. I
I guess I'll call eBay although I assume it will be a very frustrating experience. and not fruitful...

My solution is that ebay should have SGC verify and authenticate its own slabs.... That's in everyone's best interests anyway. If SGC thinks its holder was no tampered with then they should be the one to say so.
