Default An open letter to SCP auctions

Posted By: David Hanvey

SCP Auctions seem like an interesting group. I won a lot of cards from them in their last auction (approx $2300). When the cards were received they looked nothing like the auction picture.

After I sent them side by side images of the scanned cards and the auction photos, SCP got back to me and informed me that they had the lot photographed, not scanned as per usual. To their credit, they then refunded my money (I still lost money on the whole thing though as the Aussie dollar gained ground on the US - I bought the cards at 86 cents in the dollar, and got the refund at 93 cents).

Funny thing is the lot appeared broken up in Lelands past auction. The total combined sale was about 600-700 less than what Sotheby's ended at - due to the fact the cards had been scanned, not photographed.
