Jeesh!! Case in Point!! Although this is not prewar, it clearly demonstrates what this thread is all about.
The top is a card I sold recently for $26.00.....cheap, but as you can see by the accurate scan I posted, it had slightly brown dingy borders and the corners were soft (top left in particular).
The bottom is the same card listed by the buyer at near twice the price BIN $45.00 with a wildly manipulated scan. Bright borders and hardly noticeable soft corners.
Now I don't care about anyone making a profit, and I am used to buying high and selling low.
My beef is the manipulated scan that is fraudulently depicting the card as nicer than it really is. What say you?
Dave.
