I wanted to warn as many sellers of Sports Cards as possible, as to the rigged Authentication System. It is set up to completely damage the credibility of the seller, and promote their self interests.
I just sold a high dollar sports card, pictures of the card were taken at all angles, and the condition of the card was listed as "Like New".
The Authenticator returned the card, and said that it couldn't be authenticated. After making phone calls to the people who sold me the cards as to it's authenticity, I was told that the reason it couldn't be authenticated was that they found a scratch on the rear bottom corner of the surface.
This NEVER should have happened. In this situation, the card is real, the card is authentic, and the card was sold with an accurate description.
The Authenticator is doing what they intend to do along with eBay's help. Promote the Grading Services, and to kill the eBay sellers. Non Graded Cards will be impossible to sell under these guidelines.
A Warning to those who will have to go thru this.
Jon
