I know you will believe what you want to but this does happen on occasion.

Well, since I'm pretty sure REA didn't make their photo of the card look dirtier than it actually is, I guess it all comes down to "is the photo an accurate representation of what then card looks like in hand?"

Denial isn't just a river in Africa.

Conor, I don't believe I said that anyone made their image "dirtier", my point is that you take an image on two different types of equipment with different settings, you will get different results.

Then Legendary needs to get new equipment, or give scanning lessons to his employees. I'm sure Doug will take care of it.

By the way, Bob, perhaps you might want to mention that Doug -- and Legendary -- uses your company for its auctions. In a perfect world you'd be in the cell next to Doug.

Bob is one of the most honest guys I know. I trust him implicitly. (and he hosts my auction s/w and has done a superb job of it). I wish nothing but continued success for him and his company.

Bob's company also hosts my auctions, and I find him completely trustworthy.

Then maybe he should get his eyes fixed? Or stop lying about the Legendary scans that everyone with working eyes can see were manipulated in order to take away wrinkles and stains?

Compare, if you will, scans of the CJ Cobb now in Al's auction with one in Legendary a couple of years back. Hint Legendary's is the brighter one.

I try to make sure the scan looks as bad as possible so that when the card arrives, the high bidder is pleasantly surprised.
