Has anyone purchased a higher end card from battlefield and been pleased with the grading results? I have yet to hear of one who has.

You don't need to send in a card to be graded to know it's bad or overgraded.

You dont, but unfortunately the people who keep falling for this scam do. These are the people I believe are leaving the positive feedback for cards selling for a few hundred bucks or more.

I think we agree on that. I think the place we disagree is whether they are puffing up their feedback with accurately graded and authentic lower end cards; my feeling is they are probably bad across the board and taking advantage of the fact that most people just aren't paying attention or don't know the difference.

If true the issue is even worse than I thought. And you're right the feedback score is hard to believe. It's sad that so many people don't realize they're getting cards that are lower quality than advertised, or altered. I think we can also both agree that this is a seller that should be avoided in all cases.

I'm just thankful I found this board before I bought anything from battlefield. Before I came here I was in awe of the '52s she had for sale and I was planning on buying a bunch from her. Thankfully, the great people on this board educated me on her scam.

Absolutely.
