Eric- to answer your question, it depends what you are bidding on.

If you are buying a T206 Ty Cobb in an SGC 40 holder and there is a picture in the catalog, you're probably safe placing your bids.

But when you buy a panoramic photograph that's partly hidden under a mat and it has considerable condition issues, a phone call is just a way to protect your own interests.

In no way am I blaming Ryan, as he is the victim here, but he could have saved himself a lot of grief.
