They are supposed to just be taking them out of the box saying, “Yep, this is a PSA 5 Topps XXX” and putting a stamp of approval on it and re-packaging.

As long as the card is in a reputable slab (PSA, SGC, BGS, CGC…) and the title in form closely matches the title on the flip, what is the problem?

Gotta love eBay. They seem to love going out of their way to make additional headaches for themselves.

John, I personally would not sell an expensive card on ebay without the authentication process. I don't want to take the chance that a buyer will claim I sent him an empty box.

As a buyer, I like it too. I have heard enough stories about Probstein sending out empty boxes that I wouldn't want to be on that end of it either.
