It actually comes across as a discussion from an alternate reality where the OP was horribly wronged by the authenticity guarantee and every responder feels the need to blindly validate him instead of pointing out what actually happened.

Looked at the images on the eBay listing. They were high enough resolution to see imperfections on the slab. The front looks fine to me and only a couple small scratches on the back. I've seen much, much worse. I'm surprised it was 'rejected' but glad you and the buyer worked it out.

To me, the bigger issue here is that ebay is likely very inconsistent on how this rule is or is not applied across the board. I'm pretty sure that not every slab with a noticeable scratch is rejected the same as if the card were fake. To me this goes back to the ancient problem heading of ebay not ever caring to be category experts. We don't know, so we will farm out the question to someone else. And when they do this, the results are inevitably inconsistent.

This…is…the…actual….problem. It has damage that doesn’t show in the listing.

The slab looks like it only suffers from minor issues in the images. It was deemed to have “significant” damage/scratching by the authenticator that was not apparent in the images.

That slab is very old and very large. Really tough to protect it from contact all those years unless it was the absolute treasure of your collection.

I will say I don’t “know it”, but…I guarantee it.

You have to sheen plastics like that at an angle under light to see most surface issues. A straight on view will not show the totality of it.

I did notice the card is slightly outside of the frame when zoomed in. That could have been the issue too. I don't guarantee it, however.

They should at least give you a choice whether to keep it or return it.

Not sure if it adds anything to the conversation or actually shows the culprits, but I did take this pic in Dan's basement a while back when he had me over for tea...
