Burbank Sportscards

[HRBAKER]

With almost 218,000 feedback(s), they seem to do it very regularly. Me, I prefer a scan.

I once called them up and asked if they could send me the scan of a card I was interested in. The person who answered the phone said, "No, we have too many cards to do that." Well, I guess they have too many customers as well. That's where I draw the line. If you want to sell it, I need to see it ...

If you write really creative, lengthy and elegant descriptions of what you're selling, I suppose the absence of scans can be ignored.

"Beckett Stock Photo, not actual product." Are you kidding me?

Rob at Burbank is one of the better graders I know. I do understand everyone's frustration but the way Burbank is set up; the scan of a specific card is a very difficult process for them to do. Perhaps the next time I chat with Rob, I'll see if there is some way for certain cards to always be scanned before being posted for sale

I called once to see if they had something in stock that I was looking for and was told they did. Drove half an hour out there to find out they didn't, and had never carried it. Flat out lied. The guy told me that they have similar stuff so it should be fine and to make do.
Last time I went near the place.

That's where a scanner and a high school student @ minimum wage would come in handy. Increased sales would more than make up for the minimum investment.

Been to there store a couple times but not in a while. The thing that turned me off was. You go on their store computers to generate a list of cards you want, basicallly they say after they pull them you have to buy them. There is no inspection of the cards, no asking if they have another. You buy what the pull or they get upset. Used to not be that way you could actually search the inventory yourself, but they say their inventory is too large to go back and forth and mess around. The owners dad is the moody one, the guy with the accent

It looks like they list a pic with the high end cards, just not with the 99 cent commons. Which I'm fine with, it takes time to list a pic with every 1991 Topps Baseball Joe Nobody. If I'm working on that set I know what the card looks like, just as long as he grades right and NM is Near Mint and not Near Mangled. I have no issue... Now I'm not saying that goes for every set and every common, I want to see every T206 common or not before I buy it, but for the new everyday run of the mill stuff, I don't have an issue...
