Yes, I've been doing this with eBay auctions off and on for at least 7 years. Part of the reason is just out of curiosity to see what else is on a person's invoice. Sometimes they will have multiples of the same card in the same grade, thus there is no point in going wild over the first one offered.

But on occasion I've come across several Gold Sellers who have a repeated history of getting a significant percentage of cards rejected for trimming. When it goes on and on for more than six months or even a year, you begin to realize it's just not some hapless schmuck who is continuously being victimized by obtaining bad cards from unscrupulous raw card sellers. In my opinion it's an exercise worth doing.

I wish some computer geek could make a computer program that could automatically generate invoice results over a 100 or 200 cert number range. That would be an invaluable service in my opinion.
