M116 Envelopes/Folders and PSA Grading issue

[4815162342]

Did his eBay message end with "...but I'll take 'em off your hands for half price."?

[caramelcard]

Nope. Just several messages stating that these listings are fishy and that I'm "duping people."

He thinks they're the exact same items because they have the same cert number. I don't have an explanation for that because I don't work at PSA, but I tried to explain that they're real.

He claims there's no way PSA would certify these and that I must've been duped myself when I purchased them.

I bought them separately (one in Goodwin).

Anyways, just sucks to be accused of selling fakes by someone for no reason.

That is cool to know PSA will slab them as I have two myself

Here's hoping the board member will identify himself.

Those ebay listings with the same cert numbers are interesting. I know the seller is ok and I know Scott knows those wrappers .

So there is something rotten in the state of denmark with the flips or the holders or something. Unless I am mistaking, and I could be because i don't know PSA that well, there shouldn't be 2 identical cert numbers. And that is forgetting they are both the "John Doe's" of numbers, 12345678

The odds of that cert # being legit are about one in a hundred million.

And then there is this:

According to the PSA Certification Database, the requested certification number is defined as the following:


ITEM INFORMATION

Cert Verification #: 12345678
Year: 1989
Brand: UPPER DECK
Card Number: 13
Player: GARY SHEFFIELD
Variety: STAR ROOKIE
Grade: GEM MT 10



Population: 1797
Population w/Qual: 0
Sport: BASEBALL CARDS
Population Higher: 0

I think PSA gave out the "12345678" #'s to items that didn't warrant a grade, but weren't items that were doctored so "authentic"
wasn't needed.

I had a few Goudey patent cards that had the "12345678" #'s and weren't listed as Authentic nor had a numerical grade.
Was more or less just slabbed for protection & were genuine.

Psa worker: " hey what do I do about stabbing this random collectible?"

Supervisor: " lol someone slabbing an envelope more money for us."

Worker: "how do I catalog it?"

Supervisor: "12345678 lolllolololol evrytiem"

Worker: "really?"

Supervisor: "what could go wrong?"

[Jacklitsch]

Apparently PSA is not consistent regarding these.

Believe it or not, by way of mechanical error, it is possible for duplicate certification #'s to exist. I am currently working with PSA to resolve a matter of this nature.

I'm not saying that's the case here (involving a mechanical error), but duplicate cert #'s are a possibility.
