Altering Photos on Cards

[conor912]

I have had the same problem with this seller. I bought a raw card and when it showed up there were several print spots/factory defects on the card that weren't on the scan. I called her on it and she said they had many of the same card and may have accidentally sent me one of the other ones. I called foul because the card was otherwise exactly the same with at least one other distinguishing mark. In the end, she didn't admit to photoshopping, but she gave me a full refund and let me keep the card. No harm in the end, I guess, but I wouldn't go back.

I had a similar issue with battlefield about a year ago..Cant believe people still buy from them. Very Shady!

Good luck, guys! Unfortunately, it's my impression that eBay doesn't care.

Agreed. As long as eBay gets their $$$ that's all they care about.

Check this out - he/she (Battlefield0516) bought this set from prewarcardcollector back in February 2014. Described as Ex+ Now set broken up - relisted as singles by Battlefield0561 with the usual puffery over-hype language. OK, beyond all that - check out the doctoring scans! Prewar's on left, Battlefield's on right. Clearly photo-shopping these scans to make the cards look better than before. Brighter, more contrast. Rounding corners magically turn sharp! Marks and blemishes disappear!

That is shameful.

I had the same issue with dealing with them on some high end cards that I bought and paid quite a bit for. Being a graphic designer by trade for Fortune 100 companies as soon as I saw the cards I could tell that there was some heavy photoshop work done.

I complained to them and eBay, got my money back and was banned to bid on any of their auctions which was 100% fine by me since you really don't know what you are getting until it's in hand. Shady, shady, shady!

I didn't say anything because I just assumed everyone knew about that. There has already been threads spoken about them in the past.
