battlefield0516 t206 on ebay

[buymycards]

I don't think he is photoshopping his cards. I think he is using stock photos from ebay. When you list on ebay, ebay always asks if you want to use stock photos from current listings. I pretended that I was going to sell a 1933 Goudey #81 and I used the stock photo. The photo that came up was the exact card that he is selling. This way, he doesn't have to scan any of his cards. That is why his scans are small and they can't be zoomed. That is also why he doesn't show back scans.

I bought a 33 Goudey from him that looked like a nice card in the listing, but when I received the card, the top third of the card was completely missing. When I contacted him about it, he insisted that I had received the card that was shown in the listing.

You'll see many photos used by this seller, and then the actual card received by the high bidder. The centering on those cards matches perfectly, and you can clearly see how the seller manipulates the scan with a photoshop-type program.

Also, I bought a Gretzky RC from Battlefield a few years back before I knew about their practices. When I received the card I noticed a lot more wear on the upper right corner than what appeared in Battlefield0516's scan on eBay. I dug deeper and found the same card had sold months before on eBay. You can clearly see the wear on the original scan, but on Battlefield0516's scan the upper corner shows no white cardboard stock.

Thank god. I almost made the mistake of bidding on some raw cards last night they looked great and they were real cheap as they got closer to the finish line I actually looked at the seller and nonetheless it was battlefield. I sent him/her a message and cussed him/her out.

He is definitely photo-shopping cards. Somehow he uses a blue screen and takes out the worst parts of the cards, especially all creases. Here's a link that shows a card I bought from him. Can't see the two creases and there is way more chipping on the edges than the pic in the listing.

Right and photo shopping cards is probably one of the easiest things to do.

I was watching a card from seller drahluck today, and it appeared as if their listings are very similar to Battlefield0516 (similar text in the titles, raw cards photographed against blue backgrounds, no back scans, etc.). This could be another side account for Carol aka Battlefield0516.

Completed auctions for drahluck:

I guess the one big difference is Battlefield0516 accepts returns because they know they're pulling shady shit, but drahluck states "all sales final", so maybe I'm jumpin the gun.

I don't think those two sellers are the same, but for me the result is the same. I will never bid on a battlefield auction again, and I certainly wouldn't bid on a high end raw card from a seller who does not accept returns. Unless they guarantee in an email through ebay that it's authentic and unaltered.

High grade and raw....with no returns. Sounds good to me...

I've purchased several cards in the past from this Ebayer. The cards look amazing in the scans and the description lead you to believe that they are all 8's or higher. I returned a 1954 Topps Ted Williams and they refunded my money in just a few days. It was about a 5 at best and it looked like an 8 in their scans. The chipped edges weren't visible in the blue background that they use in all of their listings. I also purchased several 1952 Topps that were not as nice as the scan presented or the description lead me to believe. I chose to take the lost and stop buying from this Seller.
