Verification for a deck of trading cards?
I have a deck of 55 ungraded trading cards, an entire series. The value may be in the range of over $400. When I look up info it says that Ebay will accept individual cards valued at over $250. Individually the cards are not worth more than a few dollars but the entire series becomes worth far more. Do I have any options here or just list the deck and hope for the best?

·3 years ago@m60driver one way or another, a set or deck of cards will not be covered by Authenticity Guaranteed.
eBay only offers AG on single cards and explicitly states "Sets, lots, kits, decks, boxes, packs, art cards, and redemption cards are not eligible at this time."
The "single card" part of the requirement is determined by the category in which the listing is created. If a set of cards is miscategorized and put in one of the single card categories, it might initially be routed through authentication, but once it reaches they authenticator they will either return it to you and cancel the sale or ship it on to the buyer with a note that it wasn't authenticated and the guarantee does not apply because it didn't qualify.
