Default Jim, don't you understand?

A higher price makes it more exclusive and thus, more appealing, and thusmore, even more expensiveness!!!

That's a nice card... I would have listed it for $20 k myself and that way when an offer over 15k comes, you take it, seller makes money and buyer thinks he stole a great deal.

he isn't the sharpest tool in the drawer with his pictures. but at least he did include Free Shipping!

cause who would want to pay the extra $4.. oh wait that is too much, $3

He might have an excuse with not using the picture from the first auction. I don't have a scanner at home so I would usually just save the pictures from the original auction, but apparently eBay has changed it so you can't just right click and save the image like you used to. If I was that guy I would have at least asked the seller if he could email me the original scans or at worst buy a cheap scanner for a card that expensive.

I just went back and read the description. Apparently it's the "mac daddy of elite baseball cards" which more than justifies the price increase. I wonder if he writes descriptions for auction house catalogs on the side...

I don't know. I'd argue his pictures are actually much clearer..........though all of them are fairly horrible.

A cheap $50 scanner from Walmart would seem like a sound investment for anybody dealing with cards of this magnitude.

Comparison (with current auction rotated):



The newer one is more clear, but I'm always annoyed by sideways images!

Doug,

Even though you cannot right-click the picture, you could click on the larger picture, then press the PrtScn button on your keyboard. That copies the entire screen. Then place that on Adobe or if you don't have that, just place it on a Word document and save as a jpg.

Yeah, looks like he was using a digital camera and wanted to use the flash for a clearer picture. Unfortunately you can only avoid flash glare coming off the slab by shooting it sideways.

Then again I only know this by shooting larger framed pieces behind glass. Cards are what scanners are for.................unless you're spending a lot more money on your camera set-up.
