davidcyclebackI'm not sure what type of "ink and paper tests" the seller is talking about. However, if he is talking about the standard tets done in a forensic labratory, the lab cost would have been more than his BIN. Further, you have to physically remove portions of the ink and paper from the card to perform the tests.
I know of one instance where such lab tests were legitimately done on a trading card. That was a case of super rare issue where there was subtantial question of the entire issue's legitimacy.
