PSA/DNA situation...

Raymond

I won this auction awhile back.

It came with a COA from PSA/DNA. This was a MastroNet auction with 49 cards and the seller was breaking up the lot. The COA covered all the cards in the auction. I also won several other cards from him that were in the same lot.

The problem with these COA's is that PSA/DNA certifies the prodect for the auction. But, there is no COA number issued by PSA/DNA, no stamp on the card, no invisible DNA seal on the card, no photo of the card on the COA, and nothing to link the COA to any of the cards. So, MastroNet has secured a COA, but the buyer could then switch the card, or copy the COA for any bogus item. This does make the COA completely worthless after the MastroNet auction is over.

So, if I want them slabbed with individual COA's, I have to submit them from scratch.

I send in all my cards from this auction. I include a copy of the COA. I received my cards back today and was surprised to find this.

For the record, I trust the seller. His feedback is great, and all the other cards I bought from him were certified.

So, a card goes through PSA/DNA once and gets a COA. Goes through a second time, with a copy of the original COA, and is called a fake.

Comments????

Raymond, As I had mentioned over on the Beckett boards, I think they are calling the HOF Plaque card into question here, not the autograph. I could be wrong, but that is how I'm reading the flip.

I agree with Sean on this one - why don't they holder the card as certified and not mention anything about card authenticity? Or at least offer the option IMO.

I don't know if it will do any good, but you may consider contacting Mastronet. I personally don't like blanket LOA's. They've always done it that way on multiple item lots. This situation is the main reason why. It makes you wonder how much time they take to accurately check some of the larger lots.

No, the invoice clearly shows PSA/DNA issuing COA numbers on all the cards except for the Marquard and rejecting the Marquard. The whole package was then sent to PSA.

Besides, why would someone forge a $0.10 postcard and then get a real auto on it????

roastedcat, recommend you edit your above post. It's one thing to speculate that some employee at PSA/DNA pocketed your Ducky Medwick auto (though I am sure much more tempting fare than that passes through their hands). It's something else to accuse a specific authenticator of stealing.
