Ethics

Absolutely unbelievable that a big seller would pull this stunt. I'm surprised he didn't use a "Buy it Now" option. Aconte---yes PSA made a mistake in labelling this card.

Well I received my cards to complete my transaction
with this seller and fortunately all went well
I've reviewed all four cards I received and am very
happy with the outcome. Two were graded correctly,
one just right, and one a little overgraded. So I can't
complain.

But in the case with the Cobb card, it's unfortunate
how greed can ruin good judgment.

But then again in this day and age, nothing surprises me anymore. I wouldn't expect this from someone who is knowledgeable about cards. I agree with Vorthian. No ethics.

It's just so dumb to misrepresent it like that. At best, you get someone who buys the card and is disappointed with the card being a Piedmont back but who likes the card and decides to keep it. At worst, you get a visit from the postal inspector and the US attorney and you spend what you spent on the card for a criminal defense attorney.

What is this guy thinking?

T206 Cobb listed as a rare back. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1802485617

Same T206 Cobb with Piedmont back. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1056615448

Very low graded copies of a Cobb/Cobb back will bring tens of thousands. This makes me sick.

vorthian,

I'm not familiar with the card. But is the Psa label
wrong? And is the seller trying to take advantage of this fact?

I'm concerned. I just finished a large transaction with this seller and now you got me nervous.

I've seen him buy cards on ebay before and then sell them a few months later at a lower price. I figured that he just gambled wrong sometimes.

I hope someone can shed some more light on this item here? Thanks

Apparently you guys e-mailed him and he corrected it by adding a scan of the back !!!

He didn't change the heading.

At this point he cannot change the heading since bids have already been placed on the item. He could legitimately stop the auction and relist the item. And if someone wanted to get real pissy, you could email eBay and tell them that he has misrepresented his auction and they will stop the auction for him.

all our cards were worth the values of let's say 1975 ! Then the real collectors would be here trading and buying/selling and surely it would be for the love of baseball and collecting. Greed is a sad problem.
