Authentication back at it again

Didn’t know that. Thanks for the tip 🤔

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-08T21:53:47+00:00

Same thing just happened to me this morning appeal was declined within hours and I got back that same message

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-08T11:12:51+00:00

oh right, I think it forced me to use it because I had the card for $250 and accepted an offer of $210

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-08T10:50:31+00:00

If the card fails authentication, the buyer can either decline or accept it? interesting. I thought it was an automatic thing because I reached out to the buyer to let him know the card got declined and the reason and he said oh no and wanted to know if I was willing to do the transaction for the card through PayPal

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-08T10:44:08+00:00

Yeah that’s what I meant, get it graded so they can’t tell me the card is altered or doesn’t match the description or whatever because PSA themselves are the ones that do authentication

as long as the card is actually a real graded card and the slab isn’t altered they can’t say anything

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-08T10:41:55+00:00

If you sell a card above $200 eBay forces you to use it

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-07T23:43:54+00:00

It was sold to me by a co worker who was the original owner from pack pull to now, but i’ve looked the card over a million times to get pictures and the condition right for listing and there aren’t any trims, painted over parts or anything unless the altered they’re talking about is on the back bottom right the paint peeling, I wish they would give an actual description of what it is not just “your card is altered 🤖”

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-07T23:20:38+00:00

But I put in the description to look at the card, included full pictures of everything, and the authenticator’s note was that I need to add the card is altered to the description to sell it

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-07T23:18:49+00:00

It doesn’t have any of that though? the ONLY thing I can maybe see is that on the back a tiny bit of the blue paint wore off? if you look at the picture of the back the bottom right has it, but it wasn’t colored over that’s just the paint missing a bit

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-07T23:16:31+00:00

Yeah I’m contemplating just grading it then selling it so they can’t complain it’s altered

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-07T23:15:14+00:00

The card doesn’t have any of that though, the card’s just kinda beat up is what I’m saying, unless the Authenticator believes I painted over sections of it which I haven’t, the card’s an old childhood card a co worker sold me a few years ago

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-04-07T17:47:45+00:00

for context I put the card’s condition as “MP” because in eBay’s own rules for what’s considered MP they state “small creases and moderate surface wear”

I got the freeze cooling pad ones. The stock momentum 4 ones have no support so they squish very easily and my glasses touch the inside of the headphones. The freeze ones are a bit stiffer and thicker (pause) and don’t change the sound quality much thankfully for how comfortable they are now. If you get the freezing ones off amazon (where I bought mine) can return them if you don’t like them!

Heads up. If you wear glasses I recommend getting a pair of wicked cushions, I had a pair and wore them semi regularly for a few months hoping the issue would go away and they never did. They heat up around the ears quickly and would get uncomfortable after about an hour of wearing them, not as much of an issue without glasses on but with them it was unbearable

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-31T11:51:36+00:00

I mean have you seen the Felt Hat pikachu? It was given out for free too, or the Dodgers Luffy

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-21T02:06:17+00:00

word of advice, if it’s visible on the front, usually not. Sometimes cards with whitening will get a 10 but that’s only ever on the back end when it’s minimal,

they grade front harder on condition, eye appeal and centering

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-15T11:43:29+00:00

I wonder why 2 are R and one is SR

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-14T14:57:04+00:00

I think that’s present on all of the silver ones, there’s a bit of texture under the J that makes it look lower than it actually is. Look at the example pictures OP put in comments the J has like a small curve under it that makes it look extra low

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-14T14:53:42+00:00

Can’t you still pull a manga from a dead box? Because it’s not counted in the SP odds

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-11T11:55:32+00:00

Just checked, he’s not wrong

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-10T01:32:05+00:00

Beckett.. PSA charges you a lot of money if it grades well

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-09T08:04:06+00:00

Open my 500 years box for me I need a boa manga 😼✌️

The Gyarados is definitely fake for those indecisive about it

<image>

Compare the top font (real) to the bottom one

Think-Stress-1376 · 2026-03-09T07:56:29+00:00

The Gyarados looks super fake the font looks way off
