eBay sellers not showing both sides of a card

[Harliduck]

There are 5 or 6 ebayer's that I probably buy 75% of my cards from that I trust to grade accurately enough that if they didn't show the back I would certainly trust them. Everyone else, no back no sale...I don't even take the time to ask. Been burned enough in my past...ugh

I know what you mean. Ironically, my trusted sellers just happen to provide back scans.

I don't post back scans, but about 98% of my listings are modern where a back pick isn't necessary. Also, I don't think I've ever asked for a back pic. I just ask to make sure there's no creases, etc. I guess it's something I could/start need to doing.

I only show the back of graded cards if they are expensive.

Assume this is in reference to the 1952 Jackie auction that ends tonight. Yeah no back pic is very frustrating. What's crazy is this seller has a bunch of higher end RAW vintage on eBay....with no back pic. Only scrolled through a few listings, but saw a raw 52 Eddie Mathews. Like, why would you ever sell that raw with no back pics? Nuts.

That was the card. He did add a back pic the day the auction was ending. There were two stains likely from tape. Card sold for a strong price for the grade, but the eye appeal was exceptional.
