Interesting follow-up to the Ebay auction Darren pointed out, and a possible insight into the seller's latest marketing tricks. Because I took a look at the original Ebay auctions for toppsaholics' sun faded '75 Topps card of Bench, I am sooooo lucky to have now received a special 70% off offer to now buy the PSA 8 sun damaged card for only $500. A quick Ebay search shows normal 1975 PSA 8 Topps Bench cards sell for about $100-$150, so neat gimmick by the seller to try and trick someone into still drastically overpaying for a now damaged card.
Just seeing a seller offering such a huge discount should be an immediate red flag a seller is way out of line in their pricing, and/or up to some deceptive marketing technique. In other words, you probably want to be very careful with such sellers, or stay away from them entirely.
