Warning on an eBay seller biged049

[ALR-bishop]

For the uninformed...me...what exactly is an ink jet copy ?

[pencil1974]

Thanks David. It is fraud and I explained that to him when he decided not to issue a refund. It's not a huge amount of money (few hundred) but it's the principal of it all to me more than anything.

Hi Al,

It's going to Office Depot or any place that sells heavier weight gloss paper and then printing one out on your own printer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Brad

Is this from his listing as "original owner"? He really is the original owner as he was even the printer...

[pencil1974]

Yep that is him. He sure is the original owner/printer. Only the problem is they didn't have inkjet printers back in 68 so his year in the listing is wrong. Maybe the 6 is just an upside down 9 and he meant 98.

Is it the size and thickness of a regular card or thinner ? And thick paper, not cardboard ? Anything like the SI "cards" from 54 and 55 ?

[pencil1974]

No it is just thick glossy card stock. Like I said before its what you would by at Office Depot if you wanted to print a nice picture of your kids and wife on vacation to hang in the office. Worth all of about 50 cents and that is only because ink for printers is getting expensive.

Got it, thanks

What I have to say too that I find funny is that the last person to leave feedback is an inkjet cartridge dealer.... go figure

Years ago, after swallowing hard and realizing that my 1951 Topps set would never be complete, I was inspired to use my inkjet to produce facsimiles of the three impossibles, just so that I could imagine that the set was all there. After cranking out dozens of imperfect efforts, I finally came close enough and burned all of the other reproductions. Never thought anyone would stoop so low as to try to sell such stuff to unsuspecting ebayers.

Ink Jet is simply a type of printer--the paper thickness/quality/etc. is up to the user. I could scan one of my cards, print it out on regular 8-1/2x11 paper, and sell it to you.......hey, what a great idea!
