I sincerely apologize for my late reply. I do not check PM's or have much time to read the forums, unfortunately.

In this case, yes, this is real. If a person buys a legit gamer, fully authenticated by one of a small group of well-respected jersey authenticators, and it is sent directly to BGS from the Auction House, we will allow those to be used. But once they leave our possession, the guarantee is null and void. In this case, the owner probably decided not to use all the GGUM slabs and wanted the pieces back. In which case, the only way to assure authenticity in returning them is to seal them up and return them in a tamper-proof slab.

Thanks,
Mark
