Fair enough, Eric. Admittedly, I may be making some assumptions, but it's not out of the realm of possibility that 2 young men were selling on eBay as "Carol" all along. I mean, look at their bio from the new website -- they have a lifetime of knowledge:
Candiman Auctions was formed by brothers Daniel and Justin. From a young age the brothers developed a passion for all things sports. From collecting a vast array of sports collectibles to playing various sports, they have gained a lifetime of knowledge of the sports and sports collectibles industry.
Also, who would be more likely to have the ability to photoshop scans to make cards appear better? The parents or two kids in college? Every manipulated scan they used was a direct intent to deceive.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how this all plays out. This is nothing personal against you, Eric, and I enjoy your posts on the forums here, however it just seems odd that you would play devil's advocate for a seller that has been deceptive on so many different levels in the past.
This also makes zero sense, from Daniel & Justin's first post:

I want to start out by saying that we completely disavow eBay seller "Battlefield". We do not in any way, shape, or form support their actions on eBay over the past several years. We find their actions despicable and we advised them to shut down their business because their reputation in the collecting community has been completely destroyed and no true collector would ever want to deal with them.

So what do they do to completely disassociate from the Battlefield store and reputation?
Take on their inventory and sell it in their first auction.
