Battlefield0516 Auctions

[Jenx34]

Both of these cards are really nice and I don't see any discrepancies in Battlefield's scan and my scan/photo. If there was any doctoring, I'd say there was very little. Edit: At closer glance, there is a single black dot along the right edge of the HR Leaders card that is NOT in the Battlefield scan. The dot is barely visible to my eyes, but shows up better in the scan/photos. Still plan to keep these two, but disappointed because I wanted to give Battlefield a pass here.

Original RBI Leaders description: This card is in wonderful condition! It is 100% authentic & unaltered! This card has no creases, 4 very strong corners, great centering, beautiful color, awesome eye appeal, and a beautiful clean back. There are no pinholes, markings, paper loss, or any damage of that kind.

This one I am truly on the fence about keeping or returning. Although the description listed light to moderate corner wear, I believe the Battlefield scan shows much less corner wear than there actually is. She may have described it accurately, but the scan can definitely fool you. I'll likely send it back, but I am curious as to everyone here's thoughts.

This is the last one I will post. I plan to keep this card even though I see 2 instances of photoshopping, both near the top of the card. I am going to keep it because the card is still in good shape, it will serve as a backup to the '75 set I am 1 card from completing (#660 Hank Aaron, anyone?) and because I only paid $1.72 for it.

If you look at the top of the card, you will see a print dot in the black almost to the edge of the oval. Also if you look in the pink right under the top edge, you will see a print line that looks like a surface scratch. Both are definitely missing from the Battlefield scan (blue background).

Thank you for looking at all of these and offering your opinions. It is much appreciated.

I attended my first ever World Seies in 1964. Unfortunately Musial had retired in 1963. That card supposedly depicting a clutch Mantle home run actual shows him whiffing on a Giibson fastball.

I agree 100%. Every card has had some sort of work/enhancement done to it, but if you are happy with the cards you plan on keeping, Chris, then that is your call/choice.

I'd just be sure first you couldn't get better ones for the same money you paid for hers?

I appreciate you posting up the pics/scans comparing her scans with your's. Those just reiterate that I'll never purchase anything from her, ever.

Hopefully it will serve as another warning to people not to make the same mistake I did. Obviously, she has enough cards and enough people that don't look closely enough that she makes tons of money. Kinda like Wal Mart.... sell enough stuff that it doesn't matter if 1/2 - 1% of customers ask for their money back and talk bad about you. In this case, doing so fraudulently is just shitty. I wish there was a way to stop it.

I'll check on ebay for pricing, but in general, I only bid if I thought the cards might be 1-2 grades below what she was "selling". Part of me wishes there was a way to get the law involved. But I don't know if what I have is enough to get anyone interested, and I am in the same state so there isn't an interstate angle. If anyone has any thoughts, let me know. As far as Ebay, I don't think I would get anywhere with just one of their customer service reps.

You know it's funny, I hadn't looked at the card that closely. He certainly isn't hitting shit in that picture!

Interesting comment but isn't the ball above Mick's left wrist about the height of the railing? Looks to me like Gibson would have better control than that and that Mick would not be swinging - unless that is not a baseball.

The ball is in the catchers mitt, Mantle's home run was hit off of Barney Schultz, not Gibson, even though Gibson is clearly pictured on that card.

^^+1 There are some great people on here.^^

Jenx34 For cheaper cards like that I like to use COMC to shave on shipping. You can build up as many cards as you want for as long as you want before having them shipped. This can save you a ton of cash on shipping.

I agree x10. Stay away from Battlefield for sure.
