Another ebay Scumbag!!!!!!!

That's what I think happened. Everybody else that bought from him seemed happy. I'm not sure we sould always assume dishonesty, especially in a public forum like this one, when something like this happens.

Ebay has this stupid option of adding a stock photo from their database. I would bet that is what happened here. Actually it has become semi automatic and you have to manually remove before listing, so it easy to miss. It happened to me but in the opposite way; the stock photo was a beater and the card I had for sale was EX.

Listen, I don't know how to make this any clearer. The card in his scan and the card I received ARE the same card. I overlaid them and the little nuances in the corners, etc., match up perfectly. They're the same card! This wasn't an accident. Obviously, if it had been a simple mistake, I wouldn't have reacted so harshly.

This seller PURPOSELY doctored the scan. I am very skilled in photoshop and a scanned image brought into the program doesn't suddenly become perfect without a good amount of labor. It is NEVER an accident. He obviously laid the true scan of the card over a pristine white rectangle and combined the images. He's a scumbag!!!!

And those of you who say, "Why would he do this for a $5 card?" are ridiculous. First of all, he didn't know how much it would sell for. The reason he doctored it was to make it more appealing, hoping it would raise the selling price. Or, let's say he DID know it would only sell for less than 5 dollars. That makes him an even bigger scumbag. He would try to f*ck you over for 5 measly dollars?????? What a loser!!!!!! People like him make me sick!!!!!

And FYI, here's his description:
"The card pictured is the one you will receive. Card is in fantastic condition! Zoom in and check it out!"

Pure and utter lies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, Al. I was being more metaphorical with that comment. I meant ridiculous in a playful sort of way.

There are 2 significant differences in both pictures for someone with a keen eye
the card in the left has a yellow print mark in the red stripe in the bottom right
that is typical of 72 topps and the card in the right doesn't have it, now the card
in the right has a long yellow print mark that runs along the bottom of the red
stripe just above the inside black line that is also typical of 72 topps and the card in the left doesn't have it, however i do believe you got cheated on purpose
is a simple case of lets give the bargain hunter a headache by the seller, because
of the final bid of under $3 to a card that normally would bring $10/15 he switched the card knowing that most people won't make a big deal about a small
transaction like that, and if you do giving you your money back still lets him come out ok when he does sell the card for lets say $8/12.
