eBay sellers not showing both sides of a card

[jayshum]

I would wait for a back scan. I am currently working on the 1935 Goudey set and have had to contact several sellers to ask for pictures of the card backs which are really needed for that set, but I usually won't buy anything without seeing both front and back, unless there is at least something in the listing saying "back clean."

What are your expectations? In other words, does the front have the typical problems that would lead it to being graded a PSA 1, or does it look better, so you would expect the back to be in much more awful shape than it 'should' be?

Depends but for many cards they have lost my bid or sale.

The front looks like a 4.....

If you have nothing else to go on, that sorta answers the question. I would ask your question again, but tell him although you're interested in it, you never buy anything without seeing the back, even if it's just a quick cell phone pic. If he still ignores you, I wouldn't waste any more time on his card.

There are 5 or 6 ebayer's that I probably buy 75% of my cards from that I trust to grade accurately enough that if they didn't show the back I would certainly trust them. Everyone else, no back no sale...I don't even take the time to ask. Been burned enough in my past...ugh

I know what you mean. Ironically, my trusted sellers just happen to provide back scans.
