How can two different ebay sellers advertise the exact same card on ebay at the same time? Both sellers show the EXACT same card on ebay, both are sellers with loads of feedback. Strange.

Chances are both eBay ID's are the same person and they accidently listed it under both accounts. A lot of people have multiple accounts on eBay.

What are the items numbers of the two listings?

One of the sellers is Tripleplayvintage...they use their own scans. I emailed the other seller and asked about the pic. Here is the response I received:

"No this pic was added by my daughter in error. I apologize. By the time I caught it I was unable to correct it. I apologize. The card I am selling is in EXC Condition with no Creases and very light corner wear. I have a 14 day return policy if you wanted to bid."

Although I really don't like to see a "borrowed" pic, this one seems like a legit mistake...I didn't go through and look at the seller's other items though.

Asked seller horoski85 for a true pic of the card and he replied that his scanner is down. So...he used another seller's image and cannot provide a pic of his actual card...I would stay away from this one. Probably not worth the hassle.

He is also using the image from Tripleplayvintagestore to sell his 1954 Topps Ted Williams.

I'll go a step further than Curt and recommend staying away from this seller.

Definitely stay away. He claims the Williams card is vg-ex, but to see the scan to judge for yourself. So he's telling you to look at the scan of a card he doesn't have to determine the condition of the card he's selling. STAY FAR AWAY!

Once I saw a Bob Muesel card on by two different sellers. It was the same card as it had an unusual mark on one side. Both were BIN, one was a dealer I never heard of, he had the card for $199. The other was a dealer I knew and he had it at $69. I bought it from the dealer I knew for the $69 and everything went fine. I wonder what happened with the other one!

bigyankee,

I don't know if it happens anymore but a few years ago on eBay there was a seller/sellers who would just copy everything from other sellers listings but with a much higher BIN. Then, if someone hit the BIN on the higher priced card the seller would immediatley go buy the lower priced card.

OF course, the person who bought the higher priced card would have to wait for their card to be delivered because the second guy would have to pay for the card and have it delivered to his place before he could then send it on to the person who bought it from him.
