Geez it sounds like a complete nightmare to be a card seller on Ebay.

It's got flaws but it is a good, fast marketplace, pretty secure, and ends up being where I sell most of my stuff simply because I do not have really expensive stuff for sale and I hate the way AH's lump that sort of material into grab bags. You just have to carefully explain things so that people do not get unrealistic expectations.

Do you also buy raw cards by paying what a PSA graded card will bring? I can't imagine anyone not wanting PSA prices without any risk or grading fees.

I have been on eBay since pretty much the beginning. In my personal experience 1 or 2 transactions per 100 are a pain in the ass. That ration has been consistent for me for the last 25 or so years.

Depends on the card and what shape it is.....for example, if I think it is a surefire '7' with a possibility for an '8', then I have no problem paying the PSA graded equivalent for the raw card. It is 100% condition sensitive however.

Thank goodness for eBay. Haven’t ever had a serious problem there with around 1000 buy/sell transactions give or take. Always able to get better prices than anywhere else.

Same.....you would think the facebook groups and MySlabs would be viable alternatives. Everyone wants you to fire sale stuff there though. Bottom line....it's all about the eyeballs.

Low opening bid and material that I've rarely (or never) seen before

I just received some vintage cards today that i purchased on Facebook. The seller sent the cards raw (no penny sleeves, no protection, just raw cards sandwiched between two loose fitting pieces of cardboard with rubber bands around the cardboard. I’m still shaking my head in disbelief that someone can be that clueless about shipping vintage cards.

I got one yesterday in a ziploc bag in an envelope. No stiffeners. For $4 shipping cost.

Does anyone know why Greg Morris cards use a blue background for the front of their card pictures and a black background for the back of their card pictures? Is their a benefit to using different colors? Just curious. Thanks
