Buyer beware when buying raw.

Pete, Do you have any pics of the cards? Would love to see them. Did you return just based on thickness or was there other things that compounded to that being the point of return?

I do have pictures but the upload failed. There is no other issue than thickness. The front is nice enough that I accepted a generous partial refund and we both moved on.

Happy to hear that you got it worked out. I am more interested in the alteration of the card and what it looks like. Would you be able to email or pm me pics? Thank you.

Which OJ card was it? I asked that seller if his N28 Cap Anson was original or a reprint, and he replied that it was original and from his father's collection who had a " good eye". I bid and won the N28 Anson.

This guy has sold enough baseball tobacco cards to be familiar thickness. I see that he has now added a side pic to some of his listings. Where it's not shown...buyer beware. I'm also troubled by a few of his cards. Take a look at this N28 Ward card. The front looks like your everyday reprint. The backside looks legit. Possible re-backing? For the record I don;t know this seller and have never bought any of his cards, so purely my speculation.

That Ward really looks fake. Not excited about the back either

When an N28 wears down, the borders look like they crumble away. This one is heavily worn, but like a modern card.

I bought an old judge card that was ungraded, had decent eye appeal but I thought would grade as a 1. I submitted it, it graded as a 4, and is now the highest graded example in existence.

Pays to buy ungraded.

My point being, just like about anything in life, it just depends
