Ebay guarantee authenticity program

I've looked at the category they were listed in and don't see any reason why they don't fit the category. If the authentication was important to me I would contact PSA and find out what they didn't like about this listing but don't care enough to do so. I know the set and can tell they are authentic. I did notify the seller so perhaps he will call them and find out for future reference.

I don't think they authenticate lots so maybe this had "trading card single" as its official category even though the title and description said "lot"?

That is probably it. Good call.

Since this card has the word "signed" in the title it will not go to CSG for authentication. Too bad the "provenance" is unknown.

My Al Kaline 73 Band-aid head got to the authenticator last Friday, it has been authenticated and shipped today.

I like the turn around time.

That's good news Butch. I guess we'll see how that goes down the road. I checked my tracking this morning and tracking states it was delivered on 1 June. The problem with that is, that's the day it was received at authentication, not the date delivered to the customer. There's no way of determining when it was delivered to the customer if I'm not provided the tracking number from authentication to the customer. I'll wait to see how the feedback goes.

To me, all this is needless. However, that's from a seller's perspective. It might be different for the buyer.

This is useless as hell from this buyer's perspective. JMHO

Al Kaline band-aid is out for delivery today. Impressed, so far, with the speed through the authenticator process and delivery.

Purchased on 30 May, through the process and out for delivery 9 June. 10 days from purchase to mailbox. I can work with this.
