eBay buyer beware - usspictor54 - 82TT Ripken

This is the B/S/T section - not the area to debate this.

The pictures of the eBay listed card don't match the pictures you provided of the front and label/flip. Same SGC serial number but the eBay listing shows a legit card and holder? The picture of the card back looks identical to the eBay listing. Same print dots/blemishes. Gold Hologram?

You waited 3 weeks to open the package and claim the seller slipped you a fake card and slab? Tough one to prove. Seller has sold over 5000 items on eBay.

SGC doesn't use that gold hologram anymore, right? That's weird. SGC website claims the card with that serial number was graded April 2023. I'm stumped....

That was the first thing I noticed. There is no way the back and front scans should be from the same slab.

Hopefully you used a credit card and can initiate a claim through your card.

Fun 2nd post for you.

Reminds me a little of my first post, but with a little less drama.

Reading about others who have experienced disputes on eBay, the common refrain seems to be that eBay sides pretty aggressively with the buyer and not the seller. Obviously the new AG program is intended to eliminate a lot of the potential for shenanigans. But it sounds like you were under the AG limit.

I would continue to press your case with eBay. Typically they will refund you even if the seller rejects your case.
