I've had several that qualify but none of them went through the process. The most recent had nothing in the description that would eliminate it from having to be authenticated. I purchased it on Sept. 14 and received it shipped directly to me on Sept. 19. It should have went through the process it even said "Delivery: Estimated between Wed, Oct 12 and Mon, Oct. 17 includes shipping to and from authenticator".

Looking through the thread the only explanation I could find was the person that said an ebay rep. told them that it doesn't have to go through the process if it's shipped to a PO box.

I have a PO Box, but I simply don't buy $500+ cards on Ebay. I will respond if/when I do.

I believe it's $250 for ungraded and $350 for graded Bobby.

Am I being to simplistic here, but if one purchased a raw card more than the threshold, wouldn't be simpler, unless you disliked the TPG'er, to send it to SGC and avoid the 'three card monty'.
