battlefield0516 t206 on ebay

[Bram99]

Yes, you would think that there is an limited supply of people to fall for her tricks, but I have been a collector for 30 years and I did fall for it this summer on none other than a 1953 Mantle that I suspect she has had to sell about 5 times. The "Breathtaking" card wasn't as breathtaking as the picture, and I returned it. She took the absolute maximum plus a couple of days to reply to the request to return. Then she held on to the money for the absolute maximum time plus another few days. By the time I got my money back another person had been duped for the same card.

My guess she does this to multiple people with high priced cards, hopes they don't return them, and even if they do, she can't lose because she holds the money for over a month and then re-sells again. I feel the real villain in this story is actually eBay, who has to be very aware of her poor business practices, but doesn't want to lose their cut of the transactions where people don't know any better and are for a time, satisfied.

At some point I would think her prices had to fall because there's no one left that is willing to bid on her stuff - but I guess the baseball card market is deeper than I thought.

I agree!
I have written E-Bay, by following their own rules and procedures written below in every ad, and not once have I received a reply.
To make that situation even more troublesome/puzzling, is the fact I know I am not the only one.

Okay, we all know she photoshops her cards. If this is the best she can do with this cards - what do you think it looks like in real life?

I'm almost tempted to buy it just to see how bad it truly is. Almost.

Ps - the description is priceless "This card is in nice condition for its age! It is 100% authentic & unaltered! This card has light to moderate corner wear, near perfect centering, beautiful color, good eye appeal, several creases, and some staining, paper loss, and pen marks on the front & back of the card. There are no pinholes or any damage of that kind."

Umm ... pen marks make it altered, right? And good eye appeal with "several creases and some staining, paper loss and pen marks on front & back"? At least there are "no pinholes or any damage of that kind."

Ebay should have a per listing fee for the use of adjectives and exclamation marks.

Just read a few of her neutral and negative feedback, which has increased, btw, and noticed in a couple where E-Bay had to get involved.

I don't read her reviews diligently by any stretch, but I don't recall reading these before where E-Bay got involved? Hopefully, which is likely wishful thinking, this is the start of the end for her!
