Looking for Tonytrade on EBay

[Snapolit1]

Oh, so I should go through life not judging people and companies based on the merits of my own personal experience with them, but instead on hearsay from others about their dealings. So while I’ve purchased 5 Toyotas in my life and never had a problem and had impeccable personal service, I should be more concerned with other people’s experiences with their cars. Interesting idea.

It depends on your objective. If your objective is to avoid altered cards as best you can, which is my objective, then yes, in a hobby infested with altered cards, card doctors and their enablers, it can be very important to evaluate the conventional wisdom and to be receptive to what people you trust or who have no incentive to dissemble say.. If you just want the card I mean the slab, then sure go with whoever ships it quickly and securely.

And cars are a poor analogy, cars are commodities. Very different from cards, where some are natural and some are altered and it's not always easy to tell the difference or which sellers are more likely than others to be selling altered.

I guess that’s very useful advice if you don’t have the ability to otherwise detect an altered card.

Do you? I've been doing this a long time but I hardly think I can always tell from a scan or iphone pic.

Does he allow returns if you have any concerns?

[Snapolit1]

I’ve also prob never bought a single card from him. He sells great type 1 photos.

Who?

I found what Steve was referencing earlier. According to Jeff L anyhow, Tony was banned by both PSA and SGC. It doesn't look like any details were given.
