IS this at all confusing?

[E93]

Seller seems lazy and a bit deceitful. Why would somebody sell a baseball card online and not post a picture of the actual card? WHy would they post a picture of a card that is probably not the card that is available, have it in one company's slab and write another slabbing company's name over it?

There is no way I would ever buy whatever it is that is being sold.

You people are haters.

At first, I thought it was going to say 90% ARE the same card.

If I remember correctly, this seller lists a ton of the more modern cards, where stock photos probably makes sense to some degree. Perhaps they should modify all the verbiage about stock photos on their vintage listings, because I imagine the vintage cards shown are the ones you will receive.

I vote definitely lazy, which doesn't bode well for me, as I was born and raised in Burbank.

I think the Beckett logo comes from the Beckett eBay listing software that the seller uses. It's still incredibly confusing.

I was recently interested in two of their 41 playball cards recently, but before I hit the buy it now, I saw they use stock photos, I messaged them to ask for a description and still have not got back to me, the more I think about it the more I don't think I want to proceed. I really hate returning items, because I often have to eat the postage. From what I understand about this seller from seeing a thread in 2010, that they can be D***heads, and the owner is some crabby foreign guy. Not my type of people, I can't stand sellers with attitude.

I've bought multiple single cards from him, and have had no issues. I have messaged him requesting discounts on bulk items, again with no issues and he was happy to comply. I was very satisfied with what I got from him, and how fast it shipped

Guess I need my name. My name is Brent Nied.erman

I just got this back from them as a response:

Hi,No, this is an actual photo. Our graded cards were scanned and uploaded.Thanks,

So I guess some cards are stock photo others are actual photo; therefore, I change my vote that, yes, they are confusing as heck, but as long as I get what is pictured I will be alright. I will update how my purchase went. FYI just bought 41 Playball Jimmie Foxx and Hank Greenberg BVG 2.

Fishy... fishy... run run run

They gave me free shipping for my combined orders, so that is a unexpected plus.

If I recall correctly, I stumbled onto some of their listings years back and there were NO scans or photos. Wasn't worth my time to delve any further so I just moved on. Haven't thought of these guys in years until this thread. They must not deal much in what I collect since I don't recall any of their items coming up in my saved Ebay searches.
