Re: ebay to use Professional Authenticators??
In my opinion eBay's primary motive is always their bottom line.
Gimmicks like this are only aimed at them charging more fees to sellers.
In the end it's up to the collector to do his homework.Comment

Re: ebay to use Professional Authenticators??
I would be surprised if this was offered on game used sports memorabilia. Autographed items I could see. PSA use to offer a service for checking auto'd items on eBay for prospective buyers but could the same service be offered for game used items where the authenticator gives an opinion based solely on photographs? Seems that may give unscrupulous sellers another way to peddle their fake merchandise if they can alter their photos in a way that makes their item look better than it actually is.Comment
