That reminds me of Larry Fritsch (RIP). I had many dealings with him through the mail order catalog. There were NO pics before ordering.
I would order around 10 cards and if I kept 3-4 it was worth it. He never minded returns as long as you told him why. I remember things like...."well, an ex card can't be ripped"...or "a vg card can't really have 10 creases through his face".... but he always took the return with no issues. I don't have a description for this one. I bought it from a board member. I think he said it was oversized on top and ragged. I did see a pic on it and there was a little premium for it's weirdness, as I recall. .

I used to find some of these funny. Lately, though, I just feel like sellers who do this are a complete waste of time.

Does this "Perfect condition!" card that I ran across yesterday count? The chorus from the great oldie 'Everything Is Beautiful' by Ray Stevens immediately comes to mind...

Perfect is sort of subjective....

There is a current ebay listing for a 53 topps Campy that says "SCARCE" in title. It was double printed haha.

I see this quite a bit on eBay, I don't know if it's out of ignorance or the attempt to be intentionally misleading. Though I would lean more towards the former, I've also known some sellers who were dishonest or filled with self-assuredness that their cards were impeccable and worthy of the high asking price. Sorry, I'm in a contrarian mood today. Phil aka Tere1071 |

From the auction listing: 1954 Topps Set Break # 32 Duke Snider LOW GRADE Crease From Pin Hole Dmg.
I guess I just demand that cards with large portions missing should be accurately described. Brian (pinholes are for pinheads without pincushions) |

If that is a pin hole, I'd hate to see what a nail hole looks like!

Duke considered himself quite lucky that the NYG team sniper just missed at 1,000 yards.
