The problem is is that she isn't leaving too many victims (financially speaking) as she gives immediate refunds when questioned. It's all of those other ones who will eventually find out they have a bad card that will take it on the chin. It is truly a shame. All we can hope for is that she gets the Karma coming to her. I believe she will..

I have seen battlefield's handy-work on ebay several times. She photoshops the cards and makes them look like 9s. I have actually followed some of her auctions just to see how much some unsuspecting fool will pay for it. I agree that it is wrong and disgusting what she does. Having have said that, I gotta say, a fool and his money are soon parted. I am sorry, but if you are buying an ungraded card on ebay (of all places) from a seller with horrible feedback you dont get a whole lot of pity from me. And the thing of it is these are often high-dollar cards that probablt aren't being purchased by some Joe Schmo newbie. If you are dropping 6k for a Hank Aaron rookie, you probably arent buying your first baseball card. If your greed blinds you and you think you found some lotto ticket on ebay and are willing to assume the risk, you really dont have a ton of sympathy from me. The reality is, if a card looks like a $30,000 psa 8, and the seller decided not to spend a few bucks on grading it, the odds are it has already been broken out of an authentic or low-grade holder. I am in no way justifying what she does, in fact, i think it is tantamount to theft, but dont buy a Louis Vuitton on Broadway for $30 and go crying that it is a fake.

I wonder how many winners of these 1000 auctions will be defrauded? 50%?

She is quite bold but of course Ebay doesnt want to ditch a high volume high revenue seller customer. Here's a fun way to plunge the depths of her audacity. 1. View all negative feedback, 2. sort view to show "200" 3. copy a high value card title like "HANK AARON 1954 TOPPS #128 - RC" 4. hit control F to use the find function and paste the title in 5. See how many times she has sold the same card to try to find a sucker who won't immediately grade it in the return window.

Kind of amazing actually. The highest value cards tend to pop up 4-6 times in the space a year in the negative results. Volume is how the best scamsters hide all their fraud.

the collecting world for that type of card is pretty small and you would think everyone already has seen that card by now. I not sure why people just dont bid a psa 1/authentic raw price on it especially when seeing the negative ebay comments.

It is fun to see some of the 'shocked' buyer comments who think they bought a legit $1000 or whatever card and believe they are getting a card worth 1000s more....

The low dollar sales mask the high dollar fraud listings from a percentage perspective.

I can think of one way to stop the problem. If everyone ponies up 2 or 3 bucks and wins the low dollar cards and then leaves a negative feed back his percentage would drop, and he would lose a lot of credibility with Ebay.

Sometimes the only way to fight problems is with numbers. I would be in if we want to get a group of people together to help solve the problem.

She has some amazing T206 cards for sale right now. Cobbs, Cy Young, etc. Of course none of them are graded, and the scans are really bright.

I'm sure that no one here will buy them, but I would really like to see scans of the cards after the buyer receives them.

PS- The Young was sold on Oct.25, and it's back already.

Cobb Bat Off sold for $2,000;
Cobb Bat On sold for $2,500;
Cobb Green went for $3000.

I can't wait to read the feedback from the buyers.

Default Thankful

Once again thankful for this board. It is easy to get excited about a listing but always important to remember the too good to be true line and also to take a second look at the seller. I really can't believe they have that high of feedback. What a joke.
Thanks to everyone for outing these sellers that try to make this hobby a scam.

Default BF Policy?

I purchased a card about 2 years ago from Battlefield. Of course it was listed as Phenomenal, Near Mint, etc... and it looked amazing in the scan. Once I received the card, I was disappointed as it did not appear as advertised, "Near Mint". It may have graded out as a "5" at best, IMO. They allowed me to return the card and refunded my funds with no problem. I am assuming that as a result of me returning a card, I am blocked from bidding in any of the auctions. I'm not sure if this is their policy or not but this was my experience. I consider this a blessing.

This is the reason her/his feedback is as good as it is. They accept returns without much hassle so the buyer doesn't leave negative feedback. If you look back at past sales almost every card over a couple hundred dollars has been sold at least 3 of 4 times.

They should have much better feedback by the cards they are showing online . I purchased some 1880's trade cards a couple years back with no problem . But those enhanced scans are really deceiving .

I don't understand why buyers would not leave a negative even if she returns your money. You're still out the time, shipping cost, hassle; not to mention the disappointment of receiving something that was incredibly misrepresented. To me, that is not a positive or even neutral experience. If more buyers like this left negatives in situations like this, then perhaps we wouldn't be talking about her all the time.

Some people might think it's bad Karma to leave a negative but if anyone deserves them, it is these fraudulent folks who, at this time, have 350+ chances of screwing someone else over.

I believe the OP is showing that it looks colored in?

If it is not that, then I have no clue either.

It sure seems that way, or it is not her at all.

This person has the exact same name, different middle initial but the funeral parlor is only 15 minutes from their mailing address. What are the odds of that? My guess is there is some very tight connection when it comes to middle America, like that.

There is definitely no house at her mailing address. Actually, it basically barely exists. It is either a business building with the dot at the wrong place, or the security gate to a gated community.

Most likely the former.

I bet she does it at her office where she works, so no one shows up at her door.

If you're looking for 304 Jamestown Blvd in Dothan, Alabama, it's the building with Jackson Thornton out front. From your overhead, go NNE. It's the building under the cluster of trees off the road a little bit.

That explains it. She works there. I wonder if the company she works for knows that she is committing fraud out of their business.

Hate to keep adding to this, but at least it may help the newbies.

Was surfing the Bay tonight and got all giddy when I noticed a bunch on very nice 52 Topps cards, but then quickly realized, after looking at the pic/info, it was none other than battleaxe herself!

At least the description for that mentions the paper loss on the front through the letters of Dodgers and tape on the back, aside from not showing the picture of the red back. So it's probably not worth photoshopping a card she's telling you is Fair to Good.

She has a lot of 52's for sale, and although what you say is correct, her previous history speaks for itself.
I'd like to believe she has seen the light and is being more honest/truthful, but I know we will, likely, be reading about these in her negative feedback in the very near future.
This Spahn is also described well but my gut, as likely many others who know her, know this card probably isn't what it looks like when it's in hand.

She's still calling a card with paper loss and tape residue "Beautiful"

Everyone of her 52 Topps cards look exceptional to me. Not that that is not possible but that seems to fit the bill of all her listings.

Sadly, we know, when buyers have the cards in hand, they look nothing like they did in her postings.

Still p*sses me off knowing she continually gets away with this and E-Bay classifies her as a Top rated Seller!

Nowadays the only thing worse than seeing something is being sold by this scammer (who really should be in jail) is reading the title of an auction that says READ FIRST........

I'm amazed that she could do this scamming so long. I would think there is a limit for the number of people willing to spend $2k on a 53 Topps Mantle - and I would think that the people willing to put that kind of money up for a baseball card would already know she is a complete scammer.

At some point I would think her prices had to fall because there's no one left that is willing to bid on her stuff - but I guess the baseball card market is deeper than I thought.

Cheers,
Patrick

Yes, you would think that there is an limited supply of people to fall for her tricks, but I have been a collector for 30 years and I did fall for it this summer on none other than a 1953 Mantle that I suspect she has had to sell about 5 times. The "Breathtaking" card wasn't as breathtaking as the picture, and I returned it. She took the absolute maximum plus a couple of days to reply to the request to return. Then she held on to the money for the absolute maximum time plus another few days. By the time I got my money back another person had been duped for the same card.

My guess she does this to multiple people with high priced cards, hopes they don't return them, and even if they do, she can't lose because she holds the money for over a month and then re-sells again. I feel the real villain in this story is actually eBay, who has to be very aware of her poor business practices, but doesn't want to lose their cut of the transactions where people don't know any better and are for a time, satisfied.

I agree!
I have written E-Bay, by following their own rules and procedures written below in every ad, and not once have I received a reply.
To make that situation even more troublesome/puzzling, is the fact I know I am not the only one.
