Hello All,
I will do my best to explain this situation. I'm bringing this to everyone's attention because the Ebay seller in question is also a Net54 member. As most of you know, I am building a T206 set. So I spend a good amount of time looking for T206s to complete my set. I have found some interesting transactions occurring on Ebay. It appears to me that the Ebay seller is buying raw T206s along with bat, jersey and autograph cards from the 2002 Topps T206 set and combining the two. Why would a seller do this? Because Topps Buybacks sell for alot more than just a raw T206 does. Nowhere in the seller's auction does he list them as Topps Buybacks, but he uses the border card to increase his final sale price. So why do I care? Because I have purchased a few of these Topps Buybacks for my set and so have quite a few other collectors. Does the buyer/collector get a authentic T206? Yes, but if they wanted an authentic T206 they could have just bought one raw instead of paying double for a Topps Buyback. Some collectors just collect the Buybacks. To me it seems alittle on the unethical side what this seller is doing, but thats my opinion. Although the Ebay seller also sells on our BST. I will present some scans for proof. Honestly I hope that I am wrong and will apologize to all if I am, but I have seen to much proof to let this go unnoticed. Please keep in mind that I am bringing this all to light because I want to help all the members on this board. Scans - Raw card....Topps card....Combination for resale Thanks, Jantz Last edited by Jantz; 01-16-2010 at 11:57 AM. |
