Ebay seller pcbcomicsandsports trimming cards and bypassing authentication

[kimo75]

My experience was a 1967 OPC Willie Stargell purchase. Scan on eBay looked near mint. Card received was clearly not. I think in my case they cropped the picture to make the corners appear sharper. They did send a refund after I opened a dispute.

A seller on eBay who deceptively crops his picture to eliminate a little bit on all sides of a lower or mid-grade card to make it magically appear to have four perfectly sharp corners.

Only slightly less shady than a seller who crops the actual card to make it magically appear to have four perfectly sharp corners

I will say, that is how Battlecreek et al. has stayed in business, they have never put up a fight about returns and refunds. Barely a positive when they're committing fraud (or at the very least sneaking up on the line) with the majority of their transactions.

Got my 32 pic.

I can't say who trimmed, but...trimmed...or mislabeled and actually another year.

Well, a change of pace. I got my 31's, 43's and 44's pictures and all was good. I was overcharged for postage as my two orders ended up being combined but he is going to refund me postage.

Yeah, that's why I'm not saying who could be at fault for the trim job on my 32's.

There's no obvious sign of fresh trimming and given the timing of the multiple-year photo postings, it was most likely part of some bulk purchase by the seller.

Slightly disappointed, but they were extremely cheap and I'm just going to hold what I got as a placeholder rather than trying to argue a return.
