Frank WakefieldWell there certainly was a second side that needed telling. Thanks for posting it.
The card still doesn't seem to be authentic (thanks for the correction up there), and I still would not pay $5 for it, shipping and all.
It seems to me that the seller's concern that the card wouldn't grade is an indication of doubt as to authenticity, and not concern that it merely wouldn't grade. If it had graded it would have sold for more, resulting in more commission. And if the seller were confident of authenticity then grading would have been sought.
The buyer, consignor and auctioneer, or seller, or whatever, all need to get together with cash and card, and resolve the matter. Lawyers X 3 will result in less cash to divvy up when the card finds a home among the protagonists. If they can't agree, then let the lawyering begin!
