To this day, that Mack was the most egregious PSA error I’ve ever seen. If I remember correctly, the owner wasn’t even a card guy and submitted it himself not even knowing the difference. He put it on eBay thinking it was legit since PSA slabbed it. When it was pointed out, he provided documentation proving his story, and that’s when PSA slid in and bought it from him to destroy it.

How much did eBay pay him for it?

Refunded his grading fee for that card, and gave him a few freebies like membership and a PSA ballcap.

Yeah, since the card was fake it had no value. Now that I think of it, at least one guy was pissed because he wanted to buy it for his PSA F Up collection or something like that, and was willing to pay substantially more that PSA was offering him. The old thread is still there, I bet.

I don't remember anyone being pissed. I was one of those interested in buying it for my error/complete joke graded card collection.

They gave him a refund and 2 marketing things. Not a bad ROI for PSA....

PSA (not eBay) compensated him with a few worthless freebies.
