Why would someone buy this?Hopefully it does not end up at a bigger auction house.

well I am the dope that bought this card. Thats what i get for not following the forum today lol. Looked like scrap material to me. I got this killer Dahlen pic and was wanting something special to mat with it. Do you think I could file soemthing with ebay about finding out its not a scrap, like item not as described or whatever?

Because they didn't know and don't read the board?

Sean,

Don't beat urself up......we all make mistakes.....at least you didn't dump like $500.00 beans on it.....

I would ask seller for refund, or just don't pay.......is the money worth a negative??up to you.....seller hopefully will make good, i always try to see the good in people...but honest mistake dude....

Peace

No big deal. Tell the seller it's not as advertised and kindly request a refund. Be very nice. If they they say they won't refund you, file with ebay and there is almost a 100% chance you will get your money back. It's not as advertised. Not a big deal and maybe they didn't know either....best regards

yeah thats what i am going to try. I've never had any inclination towards collecting scraps but have been looking for a Dahlen for some time now. I saw the card for the first time this morning on my phone and placed a snipe never dreaming Id actually get it since $60 for a genuine scrap would be a darn good deal. Maybe I can talk the seller in to $20 cause its still a pretty crazy looking card

I think a good rule of thumb for a color variation, especially if there is more then one change, check the back for glue. Some of that glue just bled through the card to the front and messed up the colors.

I have owned probably a half a dozen over the years.

Leon, I think you would be wrong about the outcome. The scans are very clear and the end price was very low, indicating that plenty of people realized that when the seller said it "appears to be scrap", he was incorrect. Besides, how are you going to argue with ebay what 'scrap' actually is? People on this board can't even agree.

Hopefully, we have all learned that this is NOT a missing color T206 Bates and it did NOT originate at the factory this way and it's definitely NOT printer scrap.

As you were.

Lovely Day...

I got a refund yesterday from an issue similar to this (not exactly). The guy's terms had "no refunds, sold as is" too. But you could be right.....BTW, a chemically altered card wouldn't be considered printers scrap in my opinion.

Were you thinking that chemicals were applied at the factory as some sort of test? That's not anything I really think would have happened, but I guess it's possible - I have been proven wrong often enough that I wouldn't toss out any theory.
