Two additional things about this entire thread don't add up:

1. The photos of the card were taken by a camera phone. If you were going to steal a scan, wouldn't you just take the REA scan? Someone has the card in hand and is taking mediocre pics of it for some reason.

2. The original poster won't "out" the seller. Why not? I'm guessing the reason runs deeper than simple etiquette/empathy for the seller.

Just noticed a prior post by the original poster. I'm guessing this is related to that bogus European website that has been mentioned here before (years ago):

"I have a chance to buy some SGC graded cards from an international seller (Europe). I would pay via paypal invoice. I contacted Paypal and they said worst case scenario I would have to open a case if 1. I didn't receive the item or 2. It was not as described. Just wondering if I should take the chance..it seems like a chance that could really pay off, worse case scenario I have to wait to get my money returned if (God forbid) things didn't go smoothly. I just have some hesitation about it because of their location. I have done some research on the seller and also the cards in question and am confident that if I got the cards being pictured then I would be good, as they look legit (along with the holders). Is this something you might typically stay away from, or does the "protection" from Paypal make this a risk worth taking? I know that there are numerous things to be aware of here. Thanks in advance for you help."
