Block Sportscards

I know this subject has been on the board previously but I felt it important to give the yearly warning on this company. I recently won a 49 Bowman Paige card for approximately $2500 from this seller. Before I bid I asked if they touched up their photos posted on the listings as the borders seemed impossibly white for a card of this age. They responded that they did not (but curiously did not post the Q & A on the listing). Anyway, I won the auction, paid $60 for shipping and handling and insurance (even though the card was wrapped in newspaper inside a box and had postage of $29.45 on the box) and received the card today. Wouldn't you know it but the card's borders were about 15 shades darker than in the listing's picture! Clearly the photo was messed with. I still love the card obviously but felt that I should at least post this warning about them. |

I won a D304 last year from Block. Took six weeks to receive the card and he ignored all e-mails. The guy is scum in my book. |

Could you post both pictures to see the digital image alteration? |

George, I don't have a scanner but I'm going to post them once I can get my card scanned. It's laughable how different the card is from the pic in the listing. |

I assume the card was graded. Did he tweek the entire file, or just the card itself? |

I looked up the card to see the pictures and they are already gone since Block uses a third party server to display scans. While I was on the page I started looking at their feedback. It was not bad at first glance...99.1%, but when you dig deeper you start seeing numerous statements of "Feedback withdrawn because member did not respond to formal mediation request." |

Fun reading from the CU boards regarding The Block. Before he used the Uncle Sam avatar on there he had some death metal Ozzie Osbourne looking thing that certainly didn't help his case at the time. |

Can you imagine having to deal with a "formal mediation request" on a negative feedback? Can I bill by the hour for that? |

Sounds like some rather incredible customer service. My head basically exploded with that that "Block" post repetition in the CU and I would love to see the photo altering. |

I'm amazed this guy is still in business. Before I knew better, I would wait weeks for a card. |

My only advice, don't bother with the guy. Read the CU thread to see what I went through a year ago. |
