Good point, so in other words a dishonest card flipper and not a true BB card collector.

Not really. When I was active selling I sold a lot of different things. China, Harley parts, cards, camera stuff, books, old stereos, old industrial stuff....Pretty much anything I found at yard/estate sales or flea markets that I thought was underpriced.

And yes, the occasional thing I bought on Ebay and sold for much more than I paid. Usually because the item description when I bought it was very poor, or the pictures were awful and I took a chance. (I've also got a "few"
cartons of stuff I was wrong about)

I never resorted to BS stories, and always had good photos and a description that was short on hype and actually described the stuff.

I like this line from the Item Condition section:

“my card would grade at least a 7 or 8 in today's market if it was regraded”

Nice trim job on an authentic card. Have the same card in SGC 30 in my collection at home. Mine must be worth 5 grand in his world. LOL

Dear lharri3600,
i was told by a sport card shop that when my great grand father had it graded as athentic they now do the same but also put the grade on cards below the letter A ..... and the card shop said it should bring a 7 or 8 on the grade if i was to ever have it re graded again myself....

He clearly doesn't understand grading as he says card would grade a 7 or 8 when SGC grades on a scale of 10 thru 88. This card would grade A every time due to being trimmed. What an idiot.

Another example of why I rarely buy on ebay from someone with less than 1000 feedbacks. Not enough history as a seller. Too many people on there lately that are looking to pull a fast one.

Most times you can get a feel for sellers by looking at other items they have for sale, feedback and the way they describe things. I have bought a bunch of things from very low feedback sellers and have rarely (knock on wood) had an isssue. Sometimes I don't like something about what I see and pass on it. After 14 yrs on ebay you start to get a feel....

+1. I've gotten lots of great items off ebay with sellers with very few transactions. In maybe 5000 deals I have only gotten screwed once. Where I worked before I retired we had an unoriginal comment that came up constantly. "You gotta read between the lines!" It's true. You can read between the lines. Lots of times there are things unspoken you can see.
