Was I too cryptic, what didn't make sense? Ebay does not guarantee the card is unaltered, or the grade, we've been through that many times, it only guarantees the holder is real.

I apologize if I am derailing the OP's main concern. I realize PSA does not "regrade" with the Authenticity Guarantee, they just confirm the PSA slab is genuine. I thought it applied to all PSA graded cards over $250. I was just wondering why this card (and others I have seen on Ebay) are clearly over $250, are in PSA holders, do not appear to be utilizing any of the common workarounds (ie selling a "lot" or selling a "set break"), yet the card is not part of the Authenticity Guarantee program.

As it pertains to this listing, at least it could theoretically confirm the card in the PSA holder is the card PSA graded, as opposed to a fake slab, like we have seen several examples of recently.

It says Authenticity Guarantee right at the top.

Thank you for your help, Darren, it is much obliged. This does actually help bring the image into more perspective.

Peter - That Authenticity Guarantee was not there when I originally posted my question after reviewing the listing. In fact, I still had that page up in a browser, and I had to refresh it in order to get it to show up. So, not sure if it was a glitch when I first looked, but at least it makes sense now.

OK, glad we got to the bottom of it, I saw the guarantee so mistakenly thought you were asking why the trimming issue wouldn't be part of the guarantee. We both are still sane.

It may kick in once the bidding hits a threshold.

Let's see if posting this link causes it to inexplicably change, because as I look at it, still no Authenticity Guarantee despite price over $20K: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134418610005?
