1936 Sport Stamp Conundrum - Ebay Guarantee

[D. Bergin]

IMO SGC slabbed it as a "card". even if it says "stamp" on the label. SGC is not a "stamp" grading company. They are a "card" grading company. So it's a card in the spirit of what the authentication program is about, regardless of what anybody's else's opinion is on the matter.

This is a low stakes debate however. As long as it eventually gets to the buyer in safe order, then all is well with the world.

If T332s and T330-2s can be considered cards these can too. But at minimum, the Sports Stamps were stamps in a newspaper to be collected. Just my view, yours may differ

Great opinions so far. I don't know if Ebay is now charging for their Guarantee Program, but if I was a customer that paid for the Guarantee Program and the item was sent to them saying the item was misclassified (which I believe it wasn't), I would be a little upset.

That's why this is a little bit concerning to me, as I feel I didn't misclassify the item simply because I listed it under the sports card category.

By the way, this was an expensive card that far exceeded the minimum requirement.

The customer isn't paying for anything. You are paying for it.

Topps has issued stamps several times, they are not mean for postage, but they are stamps
Same as the 1936 Sports stamps & Leon's examples

I was not charged a Authenticity Guarantee fee for the listing.

It is part of the fees you get charged for selling items on eBay. It is not a separate fee.

I think it's only slightly hilarious that PSA is in charge of authenticating SGC's holders.

Is this an issue that PSA doesn't grade (yet)...so they're sticking it to the SGC holder out of spite?
