I've been quite fortunate in treading where others fear to go on Ebay and have picked up some good bargains because of it, but,,,,always do your homework and always avail yourself of the opportunity to ask questions.

I always ask for larger front and back scans. I always ask about creases. I always ask for dimensions. Low feedback doesn't scare me off - everyone had to start somewhere. A person selling a card who has never sold a card before doesn't mean anything either. Go back and look at what they have sold, if they have sold, and then ask yourself if a card fits in. Someone who regularly sells estate items i.e a lot of variety of old stuff, could certainly run into a one off card or a couple here and there. If they've never sold, go look at what they buy - are they just buying consumer goods or are they a collector of something. Collectors routinuely sell something else of value to fund their collection. People know that baseball cards are valuable, so a person selling a one off card who collects other things isn't so strange.

I'm one of those people who assumes everyone is trustworthy, so i approach it that way i.e. that everyone is legit. I don't have the time for paranoia because i try to use that time to reasearch and ask questions. So far its done me alright.

I saw this - would you have bought it?

People asked questions. Those people didn't bid.
