Almost as bad is when you can't enlarge the scan. I guess a couple of the major T206 sellers on feebay disable the ability to magnify the scan? I believe that is an option when you post the scans?

If they don't post back scans I think maybe they are trying to hide something but likely, they are just too lazy to scan the back. When they disable the magnifying function, the only thing I can think of is they are trying to hide something.

One major T206 seller often doesn't post back scans on any card less than $300, always disables the magnifying function, and then has the nerve to add "No returns on professionally graded cards." I usually choose to avoid...

Another pet peeve I have is getting a card taped up inside of a top loader taped between cardboard and taped to the inside of the envelope as if the seller owns stock in 3M.

Buyers who expect free shipping just because they're buying a $5K card. You've got $5K to spend on a card and a few bucks for shipping is gonna kill ya?

I agree - Far too much tape is used to secure cards being shipped. While I do use tape when I pack cards, the tape goes on the bubble wrap which I put over the top loader the card is in...that way, tape never comes close to the card.

Hey Raymond,

I love your profile picture! The guy that fake article (April Fool's Day in Sports Illustrated, 1984 or 85?) was on was my arts & crafts teacher in junior high school. I was in 8th grade when the article was written, what was his name in the article? Sid Finch? Oh, memory is shot from too many days at Woodstock. Anyhow, I remember being a kid and talking with him (I forgot his name too, too many peace pipes with Kicking Bear) and thinking it was so friggen' cool! The funniest thing of it was my teacher didn't even play baseball, he just knew the writer of the article who wanted him (real tall and lanky) to be in the pictures.

That technique is used by a Net54 advertiser and major eBay consignor to hide problems on a card. I LMAO when looking through their listings and notice how they disable the magnifier on some listings.
