When outing becomes necessary?

If someone asks for a better scan of a thousand dollar card and you don't respond, you are a doofus.

Agreed. I wouldn't touch a valuable card like that if the seller won't cooperate in all ways.

Also, why not spend a few bucks (the seller) and get that Cobb and Ruth in the pic authenticated and graded, in case of resale like this? Interesting, unless he just "doesn't trust" grading services.
