Again, they didn't refuse to authenticate it. It never got that far. Their process first determines if the listing and item match. Only then does it go through the authentication process.
And yes, using an extreme, outlying, and subjective example to call them ridiculous is disingenuous. That's not being contrarian, that's being rational. Yes, an exteme example of strange facts absolutely makes it less ridiculous than had they actually refused to authenticate their own slab. YOU are being contrarian here, not me.
Like I said, I would classify it as a card, but it's not ridiculous for some employee to think otherwise. And rather than ranting on a message board about it, the prudent thing to do is contact them and discuss it. My experience is that they will often change the decision of some low level employee (or more likely a computer) decision and pass it through. But that would make too much since. How could you express your hatred for them if you acted rationally?
