Stolen Images: Part Two

[Kenny Cole]

Blessed Collectibles also used one of mine. The auction ended yesterday. They very carefully said that they suspected the "card" (it is actually a photo) was a reprint then used language that cast doubt on what they had said. Typical scammer. While it is irritatating, I'm not sure much can be done.

Kenny, did you email the seller about it?

With skills like that he should be printing up money.

No, I figured it was a waste of time. The image they stole from me was the 1884 Bellaire team featuring Sol White. What was yours?

I linked to the auction above...it's a circa 1890s photo of two players from the Lincoln YMCA team.

Yeah, pretty much the identical language as was used in the auction where they used my scan. But hey, they said "God Bless" at the end. Doesn't that legitimize everything?

This happened to me as well. I sold an item about a year ago, then a couple of months later, I saw my picture in someone's auction. I confronted them about it and they responded saying they hadn't posted their picture yet, but would later when they had time. A day later eBay shut it down.

if you look at his completed listings... this guy is making a small fortune with what I would call deceptive listings.

although he does say "I do not think the images are original and I believe them to be reprints" in the listings..... he does list the items in the wrong category (the category a 'real' version would go into).
