Question about new Ebay Authenticity Program???

[55koufax]

I won a 1980 Rickey H RC in 8.5 from 4SC on eBay. They sent it in for their lame authentication. It was REJECTED as authentic. I was refunded by eBay.

I contacted my people at 4SC and they said this is a 1st for them. They have never had a rejection until now.

I could care less. When the card gets returned to 4SC I will buy it again.

The cert # was recent, so not worried.

Weird. I wonder if there’s more to the story here. Would be interested to know more about the details.

I purchased 2013 Arenado and it was rejected because of scratches on the case ..
Also it says I filed a case which is not true I was patiently waiting to receive the card

Who knew that the authenticators were getting into case grading now??!!

I guess that's the new frontier. Maybe we'll get cases within cases so that we all know what grade the inner case got! Sooner or later we'll end up with nesting dolls and so much plastic between us and the cardboard that you won't be able to see what's inside.

People bitch that altered/trimmed/counterfeit cards are sold on Ebay then bitch when Ebay tries to do something to combat it. This system is far from perfect but it's better than doing nothing.

Many just like to complain, the subject is really irrelevant.

I didn’t mean to come across as Bitchin - they put a stop to a purchase I made Not because the card was trimmed altered or counterfeited - but because the case was scratched - they do it without notifying you - I actually support the authenticity program - Posted merely to make other collectors aware That this is something they may encounter
