I know this is ebay spam, but this is a good auction that ends soon. I don't want anyone to miss this:

thedpro

I've been asked that question alot. I couldn't decide which picture to use for my main ad, so I used a camel.

1915 Spalding - Shoeless Joe Jackson and Nap Lajoie (graded 8)

One of those damned AAA slabs with cut pages from an old Spaulding guide? For shame.

Seeing that in one of the photos just drops every ounce of credibility for me.

Probably cause you are blabbing about PSA, BVG graded cards and just happen to list a "LAjoie and Shoeless Joe Jackson" and FORGOT to mention AAA grading services.

No, I don't care if you're promoting your own auction. I'm not a moderator and don't begrudge you doing that.

However, that AAA "card" is one of the things that is wrong about the hobby. The seller who has foisted these upon the market (liberty4all) is the person who operates "AAA Grading." He takes old Spaulding and Reach guides -- very helpful to fans for their info -- and cuts them up. He then slabs them, assigns them a grade and sells them on ebay. Though he plainly covers his behind on eBay by stating that the slabs don't contain cards, he sells them off, takes the money and when some of those buyers find my site and ask me about the "deal" they got, I'm the one who needs to inform them that the "cards" they thought were worth hundreds were actually worthless scraps cut from a book.

When the seller attempts to get his/her money back, Liberty4all refuses, telling them in a heavy condescending manner that they should have read the auction description. If they dare leave him a negative, he responds by insulting them in his reply.

While I lean libertarian, I begrudgingly give the guy credit for finding a way to make money (albeit by preying upon novice collectors who don't do their homework until after they've parted with their money). However, his attitude after the sale shows him to be a (CU won't allow the words I want to use here). Seeing one of his cards in a "collection" auction tells me -- correctly or not -- that you've done business with liberty4all or else bought it from somebody trying to get rid of a bad deal, and in a subconscious manner it just cheapens the entire auction for me.

But what I say has nothing at all with the fact that you posted a link to your own auction. I hope that explains my previous comment.
