Default Buy the label, not the card

The featured photo on this seller's ebay offerings are close-ups of the TPG label (see example in link)...has our hobby really devolved that much?

Default I feel like a grandpa in this whipper-snapper world of ours

The image chosen to represent the card for the ebay lot (this would be what a prospective buyer would first see when doing searches) is not the card itself, but the label for the card. Just an old-timers lament about what now so frequently drives our collecting.

I like to see a big clear scan as the first picture. This person has scans but they are very blurry. Their choice of first scans could have been a bit better.........for us dinosaurs out here .
