If the bids received are legit, I think this auction shows that the "authentic" card DID take a substantial hit because of the authentic grade. At $92K, I assumed the bidders were treating that card as a PSA4 or so, based on their own expertise and conclusion that it wasn't trimmed. But the current auction shows that even a PSA 2 will sell for more.

For what it's worth, I have purchased a decent number of vintage cards from the seller and have never had any problems. I believe he is a legit vintage card dealer, but I obviously have no information about this specific auction. I just regret not buying Steve Verkman's T210 Jackson a couple of years ago for 5K.
