I ran across this listing on eBay and man, you coud hear me guffawing all the way down the street. Talk about positive spin. No creases and not much corner wear??? That's what the viewer should be concerned about??? Nothing else wrong with the card, just some corner wear, but NOT MUCH corner wear, and absolutely no creases. Psst...simply ignore the blizzard apparently hitting Pittsburgh. Photo must've been taken in the winter.

I mean, what he said is true!

I love when some sellers post a card and state, "Book Value of $$$$"
Just recently saw a 52 Campy with the top 1/4 of the card missing (paper loss) likely due to being taped at one time that likely isn't worth an 1/8th of that.
Or some sellers stating if it wasn't for the corner dings, the scuffing, writing etc, this card would grade high a ten.
It makes me chuckle every time.

HA.

There's another seller on eBay who does something similar. Posts a listing for the player's special cards (i.e. league leaders, team photo, etc.) and then touts how the book value of the player's main card from the same set is $1,500, and this one is a bargain at just $500!!!

Every time I see his listings, I just shake my head and wonder whether he really believes what he's shoveling.
