Plus...now he has to pay e-bay fees, paypal fees (if paid through paypal).

It's my understanding that authentic only means the card is "real" and not tampered with.

For example, there was some discussion awhile ago about my 2001 SP Authentic LaDainian Tomlinson NFL Shield. Some people said they heard from UD that no shields were included, but clearly the card I have is original/authentic. Beckett was easily able to authenticate it - however, if it had been tampered, they simply won't grade.

Point is - getting it graded 9.5 WOULD authentice it. Hard to imagine that somebody selling that many and that quality of cards wouldn't know that???

So, the auction ended at $10,100, almost $10G less than the seller claims he could have gotten at the National.

What kind of idiot would turn down 20 g's in the first place. It is just a card which he had no more than the price of the box invested in. He was going to get a premium regardless. How can you put an expected value on a card like that anyway. If I was to get lucky and pull a gold or better auto of one of these top guys in Bowman Chrome I will just start at .99 and let it run for 5 days. No since getting greedy since I am going to get unexpected big money anyway.

I like your use of the word "claim." I find it very hard to believe that story. I think he just hyped his own card. Probably worked too. Something about that guy I don't like. I think his comment about the Rip card really is what put me over the edge.

Personally I don't believe he was offered $20G to start with I think it was BS all along but IF he did I think GREED got the best of him!!!! I have yet to see a card I could pull and not take $20G for immediately and I would hand deliver the damn thing!!!
