The Authenticator Strikes Again

[Centauri]

I had to LOL at the original poster claiming his *slabs* would grade in the top 10%. How soon until we are trading a T206 Cobb bat off, card graded a PSA 4, slab graded a SGA 9 (SGA = Slab Graders of America).

Is anyone else waiting on orders to be authenticated? Had two cards delivered both on Monday the 18th still being processed.

I'm a fan of the Ebay authentication deal. That being said, PSA should not be rejecting scratched slabs of any TPG. Frosted edges maybe, but not scratches.

LOL but it's a real thing given how beat up SGC slabs, or at least the older generations, become with routine handling. PSA I can usually clean up, if needed, with Novus 2. Doesn't work nearly so well on SGC. Scratches, scuffs, clouding, little cracks that reflect light, routine for the older SGC slabs in my experience.

I can understand collectors being uncomfortable with scratches on their slabs, but PSA has no right to reject scratched slabs submitted to them through Ebay.
