I respect that Pete, not everyone does. I happen to be on the fence, as there are a lot of items out there one might not consider a card. Heck, even the ones we cut off cereal boxes in the 60s I can see as someone not considering them cards. How about the ones that came in potato chips, ice cream, or cut out of magazine such as Sports Illustrated, etc. It could go on and on and on.

IMO SGC slabbed it as a "card". even if it says "stamp" on the label. SGC is not a "stamp" grading company. They are a "card" grading company. So it's a card in the spirit of what the authentication program is about, regardless of what anybody's else's opinion is on the matter.

This is a low stakes debate however. As long as it eventually gets to the buyer in safe order, then all is well with the world.

If T332s and T330-2s can be considered cards these can too. But at minimum, the Sports Stamps were stamps in a newspaper to be collected. Just my view, yours may differ

Great opinions so far. I don't know if Ebay is now charging for their Guarantee Program, but if I was a customer that paid for the Guarantee Program and the item was sent to them saying the item was misclassified (which I believe it wasn't), I would be a little upset.

That's why this is a little bit concerning to me, as I feel I didn't misclassify the item simply because I listed it under the sports card category.

By the way, this was an expensive card that far exceeded the minimum requirement.

The customer isn't paying for anything. You are paying for it.

Topps has issued stamps several times, they are not mean for postage, but they are stamps
Same as the 1936 Sports stamps & Leon's examples

I was not charged a Authenticity Guarantee fee for the listing.

It is part of the fees you get charged for selling items on eBay. It is not a separate fee.
