14 bids and 20 watchers...if enough of them think it's real it could reach that threshold. (Certainly at least some of them are missing the fact that it's a reprint, right?)

Since this thread was started a few hours ago, over 500 people have viewed the listing on ebay.

Hey Kids,

Reading the back, the card will be punched when redeemed for a prize.

I imagine if the card had been punched, either

a) it wouldn't have received the same grade or

b) the grader would have lost his reserved parking in the PSA lot.

It's an interesting question. My understanding is that ebay authentication does 2 things with graded cards. They authenticate the slab itself to verify it wasn't tampered with, and they verify the item matches the description. But they don't re-authenticate the card within the slab at all (like they would for a raw card). So my guess is that since the description is accurate and the slab has not been tampered with, it would pass. But it's a weird situation where the description is different from what's on the slab, but references that the label is an error.

Now up to $46 and 24 watchers.

As of date and time of posting, it's gotten 18 bids and is now at $100. 30 people are watching it.

Are these reprints collectors' items in their own right? COMC has an unslabbed copy on eBay, also identified as a reprint, for which they're asking $56.89 as a "Buy It Now."

FYI - COMC are not the people setting the asking price, the submitters are and frankly what price they set a card for sale as is the submitter's business. To me, a person has a right at COMC, on EBay, at a show, at a store, or even on a place like the Net 54 B/S/T to ask what they want for a card. The consumer/collector has the right to say yes, to try to negotiate a price or to say it's a museum piece and I have not a shred at interest at that price level,

Rich.

Looks like it will head to "authentication" after all.
