Pretty interesting. Made life no more difficult from the selling end. Would be a debacle of course if PSA came back and said my card was not authentic even though it was in the holder of SGC. Seems like PSA turned the card around in 2 days. (Other than look at the case for marks of obvious tampering, not sure what else this dude was possibly going to do.)

Did this cost either you (seller) or the buyer any money? If not, have eBay fees gone up at all?
And, I think psa should put a sticker or something on it since there are rendering a professional opinion. I would think the buyer, and all subsequent buyers, would like to know that PSA has blessed the card. Plus, it would save from having to do it all over again if the card ever gets relisted on eBay
