It happened a few weeks ago with yet another T3 Hal Chase. Same thing ,the seller mis-labeled it as it had an area on the top of the card that had a name or writing in pencil and then someone had tried to erase it on the border of the card, thus discoloring it.The authenticator claimed the card had been “colored”, like someone repainted the top of the border . First, I assure you , it was as I describe , an attempt to erase a pencil marking or name ( less than 2 inches long), thus making the border in that area light in color….if it had been painted over, I’d have known . Regardless, the seller did not address the issue in their description and so the Authenticator would not “bless” the card.
I really don’t know what the answer here is and maybe no one knows. It is ridiculous ( and I speak from the experience of two T3 Hal Chases not making the grade), that you wait the extra time and nothing is accomplished .
Absolutely did not affect the card for me, but they would not authenticate it, BUT they did say I could get a refund….which I declined as I wanted the card.
