Lol. You do know that they actually do this right. Maybe not an 8 but I know of a 6+7 with paperloss.

Those PSA 13s always have paper loss.

Awesome Marketing. Especially brilliant is using the back of the card as the listing photo instead of the front. Front of the card photos are soooo played out these days.

I also like the use of the designer towel (from the Jaclyn Smith K Mart Collection.) It says this card is rich and expensive. Having the card on its side so you have to crane your neck to see it says I don't really need to sell this card so don't work me on the price.

Brilliant.

After dangling that carrot in front of me it says "May not ship to Canada" for this item. Oh what's a poor Canuck to do???

It's marketing 101, like putting a Rolls Royce in a real estate listing.



It just screams luxury.

I sent the guy a note, alerting him to the fact that the card in the picture isn't want he claims it to be, and suggesting that he withdraw from the auction before eBay gets wind of what he's doing. Here's his response:

"Check this out guy if i where hiding anything i wouldnt be putting it on ebay i am not a card collect or dealer so i had the card like 15 - 20 years. I dont care if ebay catch wind the hell catch wind of what. Its the same card is on here for 1300 buck if u want that one go get but please stay out my business trying to categorize me as a criminal. I sell good on ebay for your info."

Anybody else care to try?

Wow, the eloquence of this gem of a human being is beyond me. His words really cut through the clutter and instill me with faith in my fellow man. I am better for having read his response.

He has an opening bid. I've got the feeling that he won't get paid.

Agreed. I don't even know where to start with that guy's response.

I don't know how you make a mistake like that, unless it was typed out on his phone, and it substituted were with "where". Highly unlikely though, based on the rest of his response.

When I see things like that, I can't help but just shake my head.

Surprising that the seller didn't also place PWCC in their title.
