Listings like these are why eBay has their authentication system in place. It may not be perfect, but it will end up helping out the winners of these auctions.

You're right Jay, although I really don't like the wait to go through the process, you're absolutely right when it comes to a new collector that doesn't know the difference.

The same auction house also has a couple of "autographed" Babe Ruth baseballs. It is absolutely sickening.

It's been over a week and a half and I'm still waiting to receive 2 inexpensive commons from Greg Morris Cards so it's not just the authentication process that slows down receiving purchases. I've had 5 or 6 cards go through the process and it's probably added at most a week to my getting them, but I'm ok with waiting if I can feel a little better that what I'm buying is more likely to be legit.

I forgot about that.
I reported the card John posted above so that could explain why it is still up?
Personally, (but I don't know the inner workings of eBay) I think it would be easier/cheaper just to remove these cards and ban/block the seller(s) but I assume, once it goes through the auth system, that is when it will be done?

It always amazes me what terrible fakes frequently get bid up to. People will spend thousands on a card they know nothing about and will not bother to take even 30 seconds to Google if it’s real.

The authentication program will surely help some really, really dumb people. I’m against it personally because I care more about my convenience than funneling cash to the graders and saving idiots from experiencing the consequences of their stupidity.

I agree with everything said, but the auction that has these fakes listed is an auction house called Chicken Scratch Auctions. So there really isn't a safety net involved once the auction ends. Sad - maybe a law suit or charges would get their attention.

Wow, the Brady is even one of the three items highlighted in their live auctioneers blurb/ad. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/auct.../8518/csa-llc/

Clearly a stellar, totally legit auction company. And only a 25% buyers premium for their low effort listings of fraudulent shit!
