Posted By: <b>Todd (nolemmings) </b><p>It has always surprised and bothered me that someone with what appears to be a genuine 4 figure card lists it with crappy scans and no supersize. <BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2710471054&category=16271" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2710471054&category=16271</a><BR><BR>I suppose for that much coin, a buyer could request and probably get better scans via e-mail. Still, marketing 101 would tell you to get the nicest pic, especially since the cost is so minimal in light of the potential upside return.<BR><BR>Done vetching for now.<BR>Todd

Posted By: <b>jay behrens</b><p>what I don't get is that if they are going to use a camera for the pic, why can't they get right over the top of the card and get a straight on picture rather than these angled shots that distort the card.<BR><BR>Jay

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>Is when the seller doesn't respond to the emails about the crappy scans. If the seller can't be bothered to send me a scan of an expensive item I'd like to buy, I can't be bothered to bid on it.
