Lack of a back scan, particularly on a raw card or a lower-grade graded card.

"sorry for the poor scan, it doesn't do justice to the quality of the card"

An auction with lots of early bidding and then the high bidder has bid 100% with that seller.

"I'm not a professional grader but these cards look sharp/great/fantastic/mint/etc."

Doesn't make me suspicious, just seems very unwarranted, especially if you're putting pics in of the cards. Just once I'd like to see an auction where a guy says, "Why yes, I -am- a professional grader..."

Registered within the past month, has 10 feedback (all buying, e-delivery to boot) and all of a sudden is selling high dollar cards with crappy photos. Oh yeah, and using eBay mobile to list.

When a seller has the card listed both auction style and buy it now style at the same time.

When the seller buys reprints using the same User ID and then sells "his grandfather's legacy".

Dead bodies lying in the background of the photo, just behind the card.

I think all vintage should have a back scan.

How about the:

"So, I'm divorcing my husband after I found out that he was a cheating SOB and now I'm going to sell off his precious baseball card collection. I know nothing about these stupid cards, but he was always bragging about how much they were worth...."

The number of times the seller puts the word "VERY" in front of "RARE" in the description. So far the record I've seen is 10.

Default And this one hits many of the things listed ...

Bad image. Out of focus. Strange background. High dollar card. Low feedback, No back scan or image. Story of how he just got it. Doesn't know if it is real or not, but will let us decide. And, oh, he doesn't really care.

You are allowed to say almost anything on this board as long as your full name is in your post(s). Btw, I for one, think Rick is honest but haven't met him personally. I think some of his consignors might not be as honest as he is though. Again, this is all speculation on my part (and my name is always in my posts )

I did meet Rick at the National and found him to be a very nice/pleasant and that includes the yound men that were working for him. Ive purchased several cards from him and had 2 problems over time including a high-end card. Both issues were resolved immediately with the high-end purchase resulting in a full-refund including s/h compensation accompanied by an apology.
