davidcyclebackI ordinarilly pass on commenting on each new T206 Wagner on eBay. But, considering the size of the Sweet Caporal ad on back, you'd have to be really (as in REEEAAALLY) ignorant to bid on that card thinking it was real.
Concerning the typical quality of these photos, a 2x1" piece of cardboard ain't a mongoose fighting a cobra or a gazelle fleeing a tiger. You don't have to be a National Geographic staff photographer with access to a jeep in order to photograph a baseball card so it's in focus and fits within the picture border
And strange, frenetic and/or exotic backgrounds shouldn't sweeten the deal ("Oh, sweatheart, remember our honeymoon to Tahiti? Let us relive the experience by bidding on this baseball card nestled against the lovely foliage.)"
