But there are a lot more Pokémon cards being authenticated than Topps and Panini. Some people on this board may be interested in how Ebay and TCG look at that authentication process.

Graded cards go to PSA and ungraded cards go to CGC.

If you don't want to work at McDonald's then you probably shouldn't apply for and accept a job at McDonald's in the first place.

Does CGC/CSG still review cards for ebay? The reason I ask is because my authenticated cards now come from ebay's New Jersey office (the same one where I believe they authenticate sneakers). I suppose it could be that CGC employees work on-site at ebay. Or CGC could authenticate in Sarasota and then ship cards in bulk to ebay in New Jersey for processing.

No, PSA does both now and CGC is not in that process anymore.

I was told they were making it PSA only when I complained about getting something back that said either PSA or CGC had authenticated and I indicated to them that all the material on their site talked about PSA and collectors did not regard CGC as in the same class as PSA.
