eBay is expanding its authentication services to include single graded trading cards over $2,000, the company announced today. The company is partnering with third-party trading card authentication and grading service Professional Sports Authenticator for the expanded service. eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee already includes sneakers sold for over $100, watches sold for over $2,000, and handbags sold for over $500.
PSA, the third-party authentication company that will handle the cards from eBay, will “verify that the card matches the listing description and that the sealed plastic holder and label are authentic and have not been tampered with or counterfeited,” according to the press release. Fake trading cards are a niche but real problem for some — Logan Paul famously bought $3.5 million worth of Pokémon cards that turned out to be fake.
