While there are many deceptive sellers who intentionally take angled photos with the intent of deceiving a buyer in regards to the actual centering of a card, I recently had my scanner go down and used my digital camera to take photos of some PSA cards I was listing. When I took a picture straight on and not at a slight angle, the flash from my camera reflected off of parts of the card's case in the image rendering large portions unviewable. So I took multiple photos at different angles (to avoid the flash showing up in the image) in order to show that the cards were indeed centered. Thankfully my new scanner arrived within a few days

This thread has been inactive for a while, so I thought that I would add my 2 cents and stir things up a bit.

One of my card collecting pet peeves (I have many) is when a seller lists a player as "HOF", knowing full well that he isn't. I'm not talking about those sellers who erroneously assume players like Roger Maris or Gil Hodges are in the Hall. I'm talking about those douche bags who want to intentionally mislead their customers.

For example...... Right now there's a PSA 8 1950 Bowman Allie Reynolds on eBay auction. This card is listed as "HOF". I sent an eBay message to this seller informing him that Reynolds is NOT a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
This was his response: "He was inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame in 1986."
Really??? Are you F***ing kidding me??!!!
I replied with the following: "Then your ad should say so. Otherwise it's DECEPTIVE." That was three days ago, and I've yet to hear back from him. And, oh yes...... His "HOF" eBay ad remains unchanged.
