Default supplement...no...cut out of rare book

Lastly, a suppliment is included with the product. A premium is something you have to send away for. A premium almost always had a cost, whether it be money, coupons or box tops ... So, a premium and a suppliment can look essentially the same (The Baseball Magazine Prints are premiums, while the Police Gaz. prints are suppliments), the only difference being how they were obtained.

In the end, it all comes down to accurately describing to the potential bidder what an item is so the bidder can make a knowledgeable bid. If a seller firmly beleives that a picture removed from a book is wonderful, that's fine and he is welcome to say how wonderful and undervalued it is and how he thinks it's just as good as a suppliment. But he is still required to describe the item so the potential bidder knows that it's a page removed from a book and not a suppliment or premium.
