85% or higher on bidders constantly raises a flag with me.
Every 2 or 3 under bidders 85% or more bidding with just that seller on items that are plentiful on ebay
I just don't get it! I have bought from Greg Morris cards in the past but this seems like a strange coincidence. Dan Mckee Last edited by danmckee; 12-04-2018 at 10:59 AM. Reason: At the request of a dear friend |

They do a lot of set breaks, stands to reason people would be bidding on multiple items at once with them.

Many retractions, are the cards paid for then relisted? I watched a few buyers on the 52 topps, not ONE bid on mine. I had ex-mt crack outs that didnt get close to the prices some of the cards get
Edited to add "not many retractions"

For what it’s worth, I love Greg Morris Cards, and I use to them more than any other seller. Their set breaks are a great way to pick up commons in bunches. Basically, during an interesting set break, I just set my price limit and bid on lots of cards. Sometimes I win a few, sometimes I win a lot, and sometimes I’m shut out. But it’s always fun, and you can get some great deals.

I have bought a lot of cards from Greg Morris especially if he has a 1952 Topps set break.

I'm betting that my recent bidding % is probably that high or higher with GMC recently. Focusing on 61 Topps baseball and 50's Bowman football....and 55 Topps All-Americans.

I don't know if it is nefarious or not, but there has been a huge change (anecdotally, at least) with Greg Morris. I used to buy a ton of cards from them - commons, semi-stars and what not, nothing of huge value - to take advantage of their all inclusive shipping. But in the last year or two, they suddenly started getting a huge amount of activity from bidders, with virtually all of their listings receiving bids almost immediately from the get-go. (I know, I know, there are many reasons why that could happen.) And their cards always seem to sell for a big premium now over the same exact cards from other sellers. When I'm looking for something these days, if I see a GM auction, I am very liable to just pass it by. Again, not claiming anything unsavory is happening, but in the end I know I'm going to have to pay a heckuva lot more for their stuff than I 'should.' Make of it what you will.

Nothing but positives from me. I have a huge bid percentage with them with zero retractions. When I was working on my 63 set I bought a ton from him. Why pay $3 plus $3.50 shipping one at a time from 10 different sellers when can buy for $4 even $5 for 10 cards with $3 total shipping. This is a huge factor with them and I’m sure many set builders agree. Also they are very accurate with their grades (IMO). One time my buddy bought a card that was misgrsded due to a pencil trace they missed. They simply refunded the purchase and told him to keep the card. If I buy from 10 different sellers I’m usually disappointed in a couple cards that have an issue that I wasn’t aware of. Usually I just eat it as it’s a hassle to return items under $20.

I think they sell items they own. Not aware of them doing consignments, but maybe that has changed. I have had nothing but good experiences with them, but I haven't bought from them in a while.

One of, if not the biggest consignors of raw cards on Ebay. Getting ready to send a lot of 500+ cards right now. Never used them before so we'll see how it goes. Josh called me and talked me thru the process, fees, etc. Very pleasant and helpful.
